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.

        While it would defeat most if not all audio DRM, this would result in a lossy capture, whether by line-in or Bluetooth.

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

          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”

        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.
