BookPlayer is a wonderful player for your M4B/M4A/MP3 based audiobooks. You can easily import files via AirDrop or from other apps & manage books and playlists. The player adopts to the cover colors and uses simple gestures to control playback. Chapters & a sleep timer are available, too. BookPlayer is free and Open Source!
@guillaumebardet BookPlayer provides three ways of importing books:
1.- iTunes file sharing
2.- Airdrop
3.- From apps that make available their files for other apps to import
Unfortunately, iBooks and Audible don't provide their files to other apps. But, you can extract them via iTunes and import them to BookPlayer in whichever of the three ways you feel more comfortable.
One thing to keep in mind, Audible files have .aax extension, which means they are DRM protected, there are ways to remove this protection if you are the owner, and then you can use those files freely
That's what I figured @gcarlo89, I wish they would let us easily import them it would really make this app perfect. :) Wishing you the best regardless!
Best app for playing independently downloaded books on phone. Only one problem: It is tedious putting books into BookPlayer from drop box because you must do each file one at a time. It looks like the interface is meant to put multiple files in at once but one at a time it must be.
It crashes when I add many mp3 files. Adding from any drive on the phone doesn't make any sense - files are imported in some strange order and ordering one file after another is A LOT of work. You can delete files only one by one and not the whole book. If you add the ability to import and create playlists from zips it will be a very nice feature. Other two apps in this category are not free, with a lot of bugs and have an ugly design.
@dickensons we plan to improve importing large amounts of files in an upcoming version. This includes asking for a playlist where to put the files, support for sorting after import and other things, see our Roadmap for details.
Could you tell me how many files you tried to add at once when you experienced the crash? We tried with 150 files or so for our tests.
We recommend using free software to convert MP3 based audiobooks into the more manageable M4B format for now. See our wiki for details https://github.com/TortugaPower/... This makes the files easier to organize and still gives you access to chapter navigation.
