## Tips
|
||

|

|
## 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 the admin. If you have personal audiobook files you'd like to add, ask an admin about mounting your own directory.
