# How to install |
|
|
|
On OpenBSD I imported cozy in December 2021 so it will be available |
|
from OpenBSD 7.1 or now in -current, a simple "pkg_add cozy" is |
|
required to install. |
|
|
|
On Linux, there is a flatpak package if your distribution doesn't |
|
provide a package. |

# Features |
|
|
|
Cozy provides a few features making it more interesting than a regular |
|
music player: |
|
|
|
* keep track of your advancement of each book |
|
* playback speed can be changed if you want to listen faster (or |
|
slower) |
|
* automatic rewind can be configured when you resume playing, it's |
|
useful when you need to pause when disturbed and you want to resume the |
|
playback |
|
* sleep timer if you want playback to stop after some time |
|
* the UI is easy to use and nice |
|
* can make local copies of audio books from remote sources |
