[Request] Audiobook Flag #177

Open carsten-engelke opened 7 years ago

carsten-engelke commented 7 years ago

Really love this app, def my new no1 music player. However I assume playing audio books is very common and these mp3 files have to be treated differently (e.g. "Mort Audiobook Player") hence they are way bigger than ususal audio files. I recommend to add a flagging option in the file browser and when playing a flagged file (that is an audiobook) the following changes are performed:

  1. Memorizing actual playback position
  2. Buttons to rewind/forward 10 or 30 seconds in the file (Audiobook files are larger and switching positions by progress bar is uncomfortable in large files
  3. Replaying the last 10 seconds after pausing the file Maybe add a database storing these pieces of info for the files marked as audiobooks. Marked directories could inherit that audiobook flag to their subfiles and subdirectories when flagged/unflagged. I created a sketch to show you how I imagine the changes: audiobook-player audiobook-dir-select

Maybe it could tag the genre in the MP3 metadata as a audiobook

Phonograph is meant to be designed for music, so I'm not sure if we'll ever be implementing features specific to audiobooks. I'm sure there's other apps out there that are focused on that.

I'll leave this open though, in case we ever want to consider it again.

well thats fine though something more simple like a bookmark system would be way apreciated for those that want to use it that way
