# Audiobookshelf Audiobooks & Podcasts
# Audiobookshelf: Audiobooks & Podcasts
**Audiobookshelf** is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. It organizes your collection, tracks listening progress across devices, and supports background playback.
## Access
- **Web UI:** <https://lyrebird.mynest.love>
## Features
- Organize audiobooks by author, series, or custom tags
- Track progress across devices — pick up where you left off
- Background playback and sleep timer (mobile apps)
- Support for MP3, M4B, OPUS, and other common formats
## Getting Started
1. Open <https://lyrebird.mynest.love> in your browser or mobile app.
2. Click **Sign In** and choose **Sign in with The Nest**.
3. Start listening!
## Mobile Apps
- **Android:** [Audiobookshelf Android](https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-android) (official)
- **iOS:** Third-party clients like [Foliate](https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate) or [AntennaPod](https://antennapod.org/) (for podcasts)
## Tips
- **Syncing progress:** Make sure you're signed into the same account on all devices for seamless cross-device sync.
- **Bookmarks:** You can set bookmarks on any audiobook chapter via the mobile app or web player.
## Where Does the Content Come From?
Audiobooks and podcasts are stored on an NFS share (`robin.home.nest:/yarr/media/audiobooks`). New content is added by:
- **[Shelfmark](../media-request/shelfmark.md)** — Users can request audiobooks directly through Shelfmark, which automatically populates the Audiobookshelf library.
- **Admin upload** — The admin may add audiobooks manually to the NFS share.
If you have personal audiobook files you'd like to add, ask an admin about mounting your own directory.
