Does VLC not meet your needs for a media player?

Not in case of long audio files.

I have some purchased audiobooks that are as long as 21 hours mp3. VLC sucks at playing those.

Other than this need, VLC is all I need.

Can't find the app. Getting an error.

Did you add any additional repo?

I just checked again and it looks like they have added granular seek buttons for audio-only so it's serviceable now.
