I really want something that can auto-programmaticaly cut a perfect loop from shorter audio samples
If I was on Android (which I’m not) I would want an Android clone of Apple Shortcuts/Automations, I literally wouldnt buy or daily drive something I couldnt metaprogram to do all the niche little oddities I have mine do and continually add to
Edit: looks like Tasker is the closest Android equivalent to Apple Shortcuts


I haven’t found a really good audiobook player like the Voice app that is NOT on a phone. Its very simple to use. I tried on one of the ebook readers and it didnt work very well. Freezing up and the interface is horrible, at least on the kobo. Great ebook reader, but not so good at audiobooks.
Wait, are you talking about audiobook players/managers, or text-to-speech aloud readers?
audiobook players/managers
I didnt really think of text to speech to be honest. espeak is probably good enough there haha.
Speech Central is best for that
Are you on iOS or Android? Where are yoour audiobooks from?
soundbooththeater, audible, librevox, etc…
Theres scripts that let you pull your audio books into files. Then run on any device. It works really well.
I believe in paying the authors/voice actors for their work. But I want to have the files. Incase they enshitify their platform. Which has happened in the past for a lot of apps like these.
You’re probably honestly better of downloading the .aax or whatever of your Audible books and theres this thing on GitHub that rainbow-table hacks it to get its secret authorization code that you can then use in some windows app that unlocks the audiobook into your own .m4a and use it in your audio player app with the rest of your music, just name it like Audiobook -
