remember the play position for audiobooks also. especially now as it is possible to sync them and take them with you. [Edit Mod] This post is also asking for an audio book specific library type separate from music library. While remembering position is part of a Music library, Audiobook could help with other features like chapter selection, books covers, publishers, etc, which is not possible in a Music library. ---

Also chapter navigation support would be great for audiobooks. ---

That would be great across devices, much like how you can do that with videos already. ---

I just thought I'd add my support. Actually, supporting this is the reason I finally decided to become a PlexPass member. ---

I would love to see this feature implemented! I use the audio section for audio books now but it is pretty ugly. Still better than putting all of my audio books on my phone though. ---

Big yes for audio book features. I would love to be able to remember my last position or bookmarks across all my devices. ---

I'd like to weigh in with a vote to let us make Audiobook sections, instead of lumping them with Music, as they are usually handled significantly differently (chapter selection, 30s/15s skipback button, playback speed adjustment, and position saving). ---

I agree with previous posters. Adding real audio book functionality into Plex will be a tremendous step in the right direction. If it is not already on the ToDo list pleas put it there and give us a hint when a Alpha release can be expected. ---

And not just audiobooks, but also class lectures and podcasts (not the currently published itunes-type podcast (although that might be nice too), but for the older archives... a giant list of mp3 files.) ---

I will love an own audiobook section with resume for every audiobook inside. Chapter supprt will be nice too. Together with the sync feature it is a killer feature for me. ---

Would be good to have this. I raised [this request](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/79436-feature-request-extend-on-deck-to-include-slideshows-music-autoplay/) recently which is more general - basically remembering position for music (audio) and slideshows - doing it for ebooks would be a subset of this request [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/support-for-audiobooks/27518.md?page=2)
