How can I make my audiobook available in Germany?

[#1]

I have published my audiobook via Findaway Voices and it is available in the US, but not in my home country Germany. Which options do I have to make it available in Germany?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Audiobook availability is limited to only select markets at the moment and it's not possible to publish your audiobooks in markets where the feature is still inaccessible. Rest assured though, we're doing our best to expand this availability as much as possible, as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more of that and fingers crossed that audiobooks come to Germany soon.

Hope this clears things up.

I’m experiencing the same issue. I uploaded my audiobook through Findaway Voices, but it's unavailable in Germany. As a result, I can't find or listen to my audiobook, nor can I claim my new artist page. It's clear that audiobooks are available in Germany, as I can access and listen to other titles—just not my own. The last replay was from June 2024 and I can 100% say that audiobooks were available in Germany at this time. However the kind of "audiobooks" available on Spotify Germany look just like normal music albums with individual tracks, usually the book is seperated into many parts just like different tracks in an album, but they are marked with "Hörbuch" (audiobook). However the Spotify US audiobook feature is a lot different, it's a different UI with the sample and you have to unlock the titles first. But what I want is to upload my audiobook just like any other german "Hörbuch". Just a normal Spoken Word Album.
