Playing audiobooks
Hi,
I am recent user of CloudPlayer app for Android and that is first and up to now only Android app for which I was willing to pay some money. That good is your app for me!
I purchased CloudPlayer primary for playing audio files stored on OneDrive. Regarding the playback and streaming quality, the app is great, and I do not have anything to the complain about. The CloudPlayer’s interface is optimised for playing music (songs and instrumentals), but I am using Cloud Player primary for listening my audiobooks stored on my OneDrive.
I noticed that you installed Magic Radio functionality, which his working great, and I am wondering if there is a chance in near future to develop and implement in the same manner some audiobook specific functionalities in Cloud Player? By that I primary consider modifications in Albums (to be more book friendly) and Bookmarks functionality in playback?
Most of audiobook player apps are closely related with book publishers and they are primary created for reading and purchasing with audiobook player as some sort of not particularly well developed add-on. Additionally, not even one that I tested does not have functionality for playing audio book files stored on Google Disk, OneDrive or Dropbox.
I presume that an application which is just super capable audio player, like CloudPlayer already is, and which do not force users to purchase titles form specific publisher, should have no problem to get users willing to pay some money for it.
What do you think?
Best Regards

I completely agree with you. I have had many publisher type apps in the past but my audiobooks are from all sorts of different publishers and I feel very restricted having my books all over the place. I was very happy to find this app because I have moved all my audiobooks onto Google Drive since I now have a Chromebook. Finding an app that would allow me to play my books made me so happy. What is missing though is the ability to sort my books in album view by author for example so I can find the book I want easily. Bookmarking is a bit different for audiobooks and there are also other features particular to audiobooks that I miss. I didn't mind paying for your app because it allowed me great access to my books easily via my Chromebook. I am hoping you will continue to expand your app since not all of us are using it for music. Speaking of which, having my music in one folder and books in another did not help in the sorting in Album view and there is no way to separate them and they are just a jumble so now I have banned the music folder so I can see only my Audiobooks. Audiobooks are important to me since I am disabled and can not hold a regular book. I am sure Audiobooks are important to many people for many reasons and I think most of us do not want to be tied to one publisher or one distributer app.It is costly and restrictive.
So I am begging you to expand a bit while keeping us AB users in mind.
Thank you
