Just a followup.
I ended up converting The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Sourcery, and Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman off Youtube. I forget what site I used, but it all converted but the audio level was really low. I had to turn the volume on the phone almost all the way up (past the "you're going to ruin your hearing, kid" level) and turn up the volume in the car as well. I copied all the files to the "podcasts" folder on the phone, and used the file explorer to find them and start them playing. The default app was Google play music. All was fine until the phone rang, blasting our ears, and then the book stopped and did not resume when I rejected the call. I got 3 spam calls in about an hour and gave up for the day.
I then moved the files to the Samsung Music folder - /My Files/Internal Storage/Samsung/Music, and used the Samsung player to listen to them. At least they resumed after a call or text alert, but I lost the progress bar that indicated how far into the book you were. Oh well. Got through Colour of Magic and Good Omens, didn't help that the wife talked over them so I may have to go back and listen to them again.
I've previously used Audacity to edit and amplify mp3 files but I have no idea if it could handle a 5 hour mp3 to increase the volume.
