Playing Imported Audiobooks

How playback works for imported books, including filters, chapter navigation, and progress.

Starting playback

Open an imported book from your library and tap play. Imported books always play from the copy on your device, so the audio doesn't need an internet connection.

Filters during playback

If your book matched the filter catalog, your filters apply automatically during playback and the player skips filtered moments in real time. If it isn't matched yet, it plays without filters.

Chapter navigation

M4B files with chapter information get full chapter navigation: chapter titles, jumping between chapters, and progress per chapter.

Progress saving

Your place is saved automatically and synced to your account, the same as any other book.
