The Android app offers downloading of audiobooks, but only within the app and it has DRM.

      Holy shit you got me thinking using ESP as a bluetooth audio receiver, but instead of playing the audio, it records it. Tedious sure, but I think it is quite bullet proof. Headphone jack also works if you have a soundcard with line level input.

          I am well aware, but it is bullet proof as in they couldn’t restrict the OS from outputting audio somewhere else. For lossless DRM breaking, I’ll leave that to the more technically skilled person. I am more of a developer than a “hacker”

          Jack is minimally lossy. It would change the audio just from the DAC operation and the noise floor but otherwise be pretty good.

        You can get USB-C to 2.5 mm jack. I assume your phone is USB-C if it is modern enough to have that specific missing feature.

          Yes, I have usb-c. I’ll get an adapter and record it with Audacity.
