A simple, dedicated audiobook player, which keeps your place in multiple books and resumes automatically

• Saves position regularly, and automatically recovers from logout/login, killing the process, hardware failures, etc.
• Playlist based:
  • M3U, PLS, etc.
  • Generate playlists from any program
• GStreamer-based audio playback -- supports mp3, ogg, and anything else gstreamer can play (including gst plugins)
• Uses GTK
• Supports multiple books, at the same time
• Stores your position in a simple ini-style config file in your home dir, which allows:
  • Storing the config elsewhere via symlinks
  • Sharing config between machines over NFS, dropbox, etc.
  • Gathering reading/listening position stats from the config over time, to derive stats like reading speed / books per month
  • Modifying the reading positions via external programs
• Python-based; easy to modify & enhance
