Downloading audio scriptures in app

#1

Post by SMBlaylock »

Is there a way to do a bulk download, or am I stuck going chapter-by-chapter?

EDIT: I thought you meant for Android. I'm not sure if the in-app bulk-downloads work on Windows. If it doesn't, you might look at the section of my post below the five hyphens for an alternative.

There is a way to bulk download from the app (per standard work, anyway).

Here's how to do it for The Old Testament:
Gospel Library app->Scriptures->Old Testament->Menu (the three dots)->Download Audio->Download.

Here's how to do it for The New Testament:
Gospel Library app->Scriptures->New Testament->Menu (the three dots)->Download Audio->Download.

Here's how to do it for The Book of Mormon:
Gospel Library app->Scriptures->Book of Mormon->Menu (the three dots)->Download Audio->Download.

Here's how to do it for The Doctrine and Covenants:
Gospel Library app->Scriptures->Doctrine and Covenants->Menu (the three dots)->Download Audio->Download.

Here's how to do it for The Pearl of Great Price:
Gospel Library app->Scriptures->Pearl of Great Price->Menu (the three dots)->Download Audio->Download.

You can bulk download audio for lots of other stuff in The Gospel Library.

If you want to stream or download the MP3s outside of the app, too, there are ways to do that already mentioned on this forum. Here's a thread that I made that is insightful:

In summary, you would need to download this file:
https://tech.churchofjesuschrist.org/fo ... hp?id=4955

Unzip it, and then use `wget -i` on the playlists (from the command-line) to download them. To stream them instead of downloading them just open the playlists in a media player (such as mpv).

Note that wget wasn't made by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I was referring to the Windows App. My Android tablet probably doesn't have enough storage space to be downloading a lot of media. :)
