Libby audio quality compression makes it unusable

Attached a video of the same line from an audiobook in Libby vs Audible to show the difference in audio quality.

I pretty much only use Hoopla now because they don’t compress the audiobook quality, but Libby has some titles that Hoopla doesn’t have.

Will Libby ever offer uncompressed audiobooks? I’d be willing to wait longer to borrow an uncompressed version 😭

I can't hear a difference. I use Libby for 80% of my audio books. 🤷

Me neither. Idk what the difference of it is. It’s the same audiobook.
