That’s my go to for sure. But what do you play them on? I am trying to find an app that will play my downloaded audio books and won’t lose my place or restart the file every day when I want to continue
Audiobookbay and smart audiobook player is my setup too. I probably got it from a similar thread. My only annoyance is using audiobookbay’s search can be annoying sometimes, but altogether I love both.
This one for sure. Listened to the entirety of The Dark Tower series on this, over the course of months. Literally not a single issue or hiccup the entire time. 127 hours worth.
I’ve listened to thousands of hours of audio books and this is my go to player for sure. I tried a couple other ones again recently and ended up coming back to this one. Simple and easy to use. It does have a problem moving books occasionally if they are in the root directory and not a sub folder. I just make sure my books are in sub folders when i get them.
If it’s just one large file I just play it on a podcast app (in my case Podcast Addict) and if it’s multiple I stich them together with ffmpeg before sending it to my phone.

I used Smart Audiobook Player to listen to an audiobook recently and it worked great.
Big ups to Smart Audiobook Player, definitely worth the $2 to upgrade as well. Not required, and you get a 30 day trial, but well worth it.
Voice is a decent FOSS audiobook player, you can find it in the FOSS repo managers (Droidify, Neo-Store, etc.)

I tried maybe 5 audiobook apps and Smart Audiobook Player was the one I stuck with

I wish it had a search function, but other than that it’s deffo been my audiobook player of choice for as.long as.i remember
The last time I used it, Voice worked pretty well.
audiobookshelf, though you need to self host it
I started on smart audiobook player but I now host an audiobookshelf docker container which is great, it’s like Plex for audiobooks.
Same for me. Smart audiobook was great on one device, audiobookshelf even better since being into selfhosting.
What device are trying to play them on?
