Description: Presentation of cozy, a GTK audio book player, nominated | |
port of the week | |
# Introduction | |
The Port of the week of this end of 2021 is Cozy a GTK audio book | |
player. There are currently not much alternative outside of audio | |
players if you want to listen to audio books. | |
Cozy project website | |
# 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 | |
