[EDIT]: Audacious does this, but Audacious doesn’t view the file as a playlist rather as one file, I wish this could be changed, I don’t know it might be. [\EDIT]
So, pretty much the title. I got this amazing Audiobook from Internet Archive and I wanted to play it in Linux.
But everytime I use VLC, VLC remembers where I was in a particular mp3 file but not on the whole playlist. Is there an application which will remember where I was in a particular playlist and in the individual file of that playlist?
Quodlibet can do this.
Thanks for the link, but imma stick with Audacious for a while, saying your comment tho.
Strawberry will do this.
I wish Strawberry had the ability to delete music files. Aside from that it’s probably the best player in the Linux ecosystem.
Strawberry, built upon Clementine is quite nice (in it’s looks), but although it does remember the chapter I was in, it won’t remember where I was in that chapter. If I click on that chapter, it would just begin from the beginning. Audacious solves this to some extent.
I usually use audacious for streaming audio, but with its playlist feature I’d be surprised if it didn’t remember the spot in a file.
Thank you! Audacious worked. But, worked in a manner which I didn’t prefer.
You see, if you download a audiobook from Internet Archive and it has chapters written into them, Clementine or Strawberry player would expand those chapters and show them as separate. But, audacious weirdly enough doesn’t do this, it views the whole audiofile as one file and doesn’t view any chapters. I like Audacious and I am likely retiring Clementine and Strawberry, but it would be nice if I could see the whole file as a playlist.
Check if MPC-HC does it
Amberol, looks modern and cute.
Good, I am going to date her
mpd can be used for this, by configuring a state file. Then you can use a client like ncmpcpp for the terminal or f.ex. Cantata for gui. I believe that Cantata can be used to set up mpd for you, but I’ve never used that feature,
Also i use AIMP on android
I can’t help with music specifically, but for audiobooks, I have found that nothing can beat AudiobookShelf. It is a self hosted service much like plex and jellyfin, but it is made specifically for audio books.
It was such a huge improvement to the way I listened to my audiobook files that I wish I had found it sooner.
SMPlayer will do that, althought i am not sure about the playlist thing but it will defenitely remember where you where in the file
