Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Simple Audiobook Player +, an app by mdmt, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
Simple Audiobook Player + is exactly what the name hints at, a clean player that stays out of the way and just lets someone listen. On BlueStacks it runs smooth in a desktop window, and the wide layout really suits it. The dual pane view in landscape spreads chapters and controls nicely, so jumping around a book does not feel fiddly. It reads chapter info in common m4b and mp3 files, so the user can skip to the right spot instead of scrubbing forever. Speed control is wide open, from slow half speed for tricky sections up to very fast for breezing through. The equalizer is simple but handy if a narrator sounds a bit muffled or too sharp.
It has the small quality of life stuff that matters for long listens. Bookmarks for later, so a quote or a plot twist is easy to find again. Seek buttons that can be set to the user’s favorite jump lengths, and that same skip timing shows up in the notification too, which is neat. There is a delayed pause that works like a sleep timer, so it can stop a few minutes after the listener drifts off. Media keys or a remote button can control play and skip, and those map fine on a keyboard through BlueStacks. The theme can switch by time of day, light in the morning, darker at night, which spares the eyes without messing with settings all the time. No clutter, no weird extras, just a steady player for people who actually listen to full books.
