Folder and ZIP import
Add a whole audiobook at once from local storage, cloud storage, or a ZIP archive.
MP3 audiobook player
Turn MP3 audiobook folders into a real iPhone library
Import multi-file MP3 audiobooks from Files, ZIP, WiFi upload, or cloud storage. Audiobook Player keeps each book together and saves progress across long listening sessions.
Made for folders
No more treating chapter files like music tracks
MP3 audiobooks often arrive as folders with dozens of files. Audiobook Player keeps the book grouped, sorts tracks, remembers where you stopped, and gives you audiobook controls instead of shuffle and repeat.
Automatic progress
Resume the right track and position after a pause, app relaunch, or device restart.
Cleaner listening
Use chapter progress, bookmarks, sleep timer, Smart Rewind, and custom skip intervals.
Transfer options
Import MP3 books from the place you already keep them
- Use Files or iCloud Drive for books already on your iPhone.
- Use WiFi upload to send books from a computer browser.
- Use Put.io, Google Drive, or WebDAV for cloud-hosted books.
MP3 audiobook folders
Keep dozens of chapter files together
Many audiobook libraries are stored as MP3 folders: one folder per book, one file per chapter, sometimes wrapped in a ZIP archive. Music players can open those files, but they usually treat them like songs. That means shuffle, repeat, album views, and track queues get in the way of listening to a book in order.
Audiobook Player is built around the book instead of the track. Import the folder once, keep the files grouped, resume the right track and timestamp, and use audiobook controls such as bookmarks, sleep timer, custom skip intervals, Smart Rewind, and offline playback. It is a better fit when your MP3 book came from your own archive, a cloud folder, or a computer.
This also helps when file names are practical rather than pretty. A folder full of numbered chapters should behave like one audiobook, not as loose audio in a music library. The goal is to get from import to listening quickly, then trust the app to keep progress attached to the book.
- Use the main import options for Files, ZIP, WiFi upload, cloud storage, and WebDAV.
- Use the M4B player page if your books are already chaptered M4B files.
- Use the playback settings page for Smart Rewind, speed, sleep timer, and CarPlay controls.
