    Totally agree, books are great, but Moira Quirk is absolutely fantastic as the narrator of the audiobooks! Edit: “DefinitelyNotAFae” is right, changed Brown to Quirk. Serves me trying to remember...

    Serves me trying to remember instead of looking it up.

    Mind you, it still draws from that into the local SQLite db, so you’ll always have both.

    Try syncing to a local folder or something to see.
    I’ve been using S3 sync for a years time without issues, and it’s stored in the format mentioned above.
