> I will add that I'm plenty "smart" enough to understand that "10" comes before "9" in a strictly alphabetical sense, and I still want my file managers to sort "9" before "10". Amen. > I split all of my audiobooks into chapters. I use the format "Chapter 01.mp3" (or "Chapter 001.mp3" when there are > 99 chapters) because some (all?) MP3 players are too stupid to sort numbers properly and I want my audiobooks to work everywhere. Well, some car and kitchen radio manufacturers will probably never get this right. In my car (which tends not to be brand new) they even messed up UTF-8 chars, which gets me laughing every time a track has them. It's become a running gag with my wife, "Oh, listen up, it's &%=?! again". > (all?) Well, I kind of hate to say this, but Apple got this right with the iPods. They even regarded the metadata fields `sort-

Interesting article, especially the Fiio, I did not know that. So here is my 2 cents: I self-host navidrome[1] for music and audiobookshelf[2] for audio books and podcasts as well as syncthing[3] for documents (e.g. ebooks). For streaming music the navidrome browser web client is already pretty good, but for my portable devices I use Substreamer[4] (free but non open source) and DSub[5] (FOSS). These Apps can switch playlists into Offline Mode and sync automatically. This is especially useful with the smart playlist feature[6] of navidrome. To add music, I rip bargain Audio CDs with EAC[7] to FLAC and then use beets[8] with a cronjob that runs every 30mins to automate the process of importing the files and converting them to MP3 V0[9] to make it compatible with all of my devices (e.g. Car USB Stick). Then I archive the FLACs to keep space

I recently found the Voice Audiobook Player for Android on the google play store[1][2]. Point it to a folder and it looks in there for audiobooks, one per subfolder, and keeps track of which ones you've read and where you are in each one. No signup, no ads (albeit maybe analytics and crash telemetry), GPL3 code, fairly minimal and keeps audiobooks away from messing up music playlists or from podcast app complexity. Haven't used it enough to give a full review, but it seems exactly what I wanted and good for Libribox book downloads. [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ph1b.audiob...

aww man, this is so frickin cool. i just set this up, and its amazing. i really needed this for audiobooks. thank you! <3 I use an app called "Voice" [1] on Android for audiobooks. I'm so used to it that any other app or way to consume audiobooks seems below par. [1] https://github.com/PaulWoitaschek/Voice

> One thing I'd also like to develop / wish was integrated into audible and the like is silence trimming. I don't really use audible, but if you looking for good audio player on Android here is one that can do this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ph1b.audiob... https://github.com/PaulWoitaschek/Voice
