Your private audiobooks (Premium)

Every premium customer gets their own private library

Every premium customer with VIP access gets their own empty audiobook library just for themselves – for their own audiobooks and podcasts. Nobody else sees it, and there is no shared collection. We provide no content: the audiobook library is not an audiobook service and not part of the regular plans. The administrator grants VIP access on request.

What is it?

The audiobook library plays your own audiobooks and podcasts – for example audiobooks you bought yourself without copy protection, your own recordings or podcasts you subscribe to. It remembers where you stopped, and you continue on your phone what you started on your PC.

• Only your library: you see exclusively what you yourself have uploaded. Other customers don't see your audiobooks – and you don't see theirs.
• No content from us: DasDing does not sell, lend or distribute audiobooks.
• Your responsibility: only upload content you hold the rights to. Passing it on or making it publicly accessible is not allowed.

3. Upload one folder per audiobook (e.g. Author/Title/ with the audio files).
4. After a short while, new audiobooks automatically appear in your library.

Listening

1. Click an audiobook in your library.
2. Click ▶ Play. The player appears at the bottom.
3. Use the arrows to jump forward or back; the bookmark icon sets a bookmark.

Phone app

The audiobook library runs on the free software Audiobookshelf – that's also the name of the app:

Device	App
Android	Audiobookshelf in the Google Play Store
iPhone / iPad	search for Audiobookshelf in the App Store

In the app, enter the address from above under Server and sign in with your user name and audiobook password. Your audiobooks can be downloaded in the app and then listened to without internet.

Privacy

• Your audiobook library is private: only you have access. The files are stored on our server in Switzerland.
• We don't look at your content and don't analyze it. Only your listening progress and your bookmarks are stored.
• Details are in the privacy policy.

Problems?

• Wrong password – the audiobooks have their own password, unless you took it over in the program. Forgotten? → Reset password
• No prompt appeared – sign out of the media library once and sign in again.
• An audiobook doesn't appear – wait a few minutes; use a separate folder for each audiobook.
