The mpv commandline client is quite frankly one of the best that exists (though I'd not recommend it for driving).
Podcast Republic has proved reasonably un-sucky.
software is fine (and thanks for the tip I will check it out).
the audible reader repurposes back to back 15 seconds for example.
what I was wondering about though was why don't (for example) bluetooth headphone manufacturers have a prominent, dedicated skip back or skip forward button?
What I hate is that I listen to audiobooks and podcasts all the time.
And no car or portable audio device acknowledges this fact.
Why doesn't anyone do skip-back and skip-forward and pause and where-i-am-in-the-program-robustly ???
I need dedicated buttons for skip-back/forward and pause. I need my place to be saved, maybe the last 5 places.
sheesh.
