The purpose of this tool is to retrieve (mp3) and audiobook media using an automation (and partial reverse engineering) of the OverDrive Web player. This implementation uses the library card ID for authentication with OverDrive. Different libraries may use a different approach, which I cannot test due to lack of such access. By the way. The software engineering of this code isn't pretty. It's resulted from the active reverse engineering, and it hasn't been tidied up. But it works. So I'm gonna leave it for now. It's only to serve this siple purpose for now anyway.

Audacious is an open source audio player. A descendant of XMMS, Audacious plays your music how you want it, without stealing away your computer’s resources from other tasks. Drag and drop folders and individual song files, search for artists and albums in your entire music library, or create and edit your own custom playlists. Listen to CD’s or stream music from the Internet. Tweak the sound with the graphical equalizer or change the dynamic range with audio effects. Enjoy the modern Qt-themed interface or change things up with Winamp Classic skins. Use the plugins included with Audacious to fetch lyrics for your music, display a VU meter, and more.
Audacious runs on Linux, BSD derivatives, macOS and Windows.
The latest releases use Qt6 and GTK 3 (but can use GTK 2 as a fallback). Both the player and the plugins have to be installed for it to work.
