The Smart AudioBook Player app now offers an enhanced audiobook experience without subscription pressures, focusing on user-supplied files.
Features and Capabilities
Smart AudioBook Player allows users to enjoy audiobooks by supporting local file storage on phones and platforms like Google Drive. It permits custom organization by letting users choose root folders and import their own audiobook collection. Playback can be sorted by path, title, length, or date, with chapter-by-chapter navigation. Additional features include speed controls, an equalizer, noise reduction, sleep timers, casting to other devices, and a progress bar, offering flexibility and control in the listening experience.
Pricing and Alternatives
The app provides a 30-day free trial for its full version, while a Basic version retains core functions such as folder sorting, search capabilities, and playback history. Users can upgrade for a one-time fee of $2 to access additional tools across devices. It supports MP3 files with the option to convert to the Opus codec, thereby reducing file sizes with maintained quality, although conversion is irreversible. Users looking for a subscription-free option should verify file type compatibility, as M4B files may not perform consistently.
For those interested in complementary services, Spotify Premium also offers a range of audiobook titles alongside its music catalog.
