Hi I'm having problems playing audio books with the newly-installed app on my Samsung Galaxy TabS.
The app installed OK. I created a new folder called Audio Books on the tablet's SD card (via the PC).
I moved an audio book's files (MP3s) into the newly created folder.
From the MM front screen I choose Audiobooks
The next screen asks me to choose library folders
I choose SD Card (+ sign)
I select the Audio Books folder that I created, but it shows as 'No files in this folder'
Yet if I look via the Folder Browser the MP3 files are there and will play from there.
How do I get the Audiobooks button on the main screen to connect to the Audiobooks folder I created?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Problem playing Audio Books
It may be that MM is looking for specific audio book file formats such as .M4B.
Or, it may be that MM is searching for files of the "Type" called "audiobook".
Check your books on MM for PC. Right click any file and select "properties". In the "Basic" tab you should find the first three headings as File Path, Filename and Type. Make sure all your audiobooks are given the "Type" of "Audiobook".
Then try sending to phone and starting again.
If neither of those work, then simply selecting from the folder will work, as you say.

Re: Problem playing Audio Books
You are correct if MMW/MM5 Type is set to Audiobook then MMA will also point to that. In addition to that MM and MMA should auto select type audiobook if one of Genre (Multiple supported) contains "Audiobook" I usually have like "Comedy; AudioBook" or "Audiobook; Sci-Fi; Fantasy"Weatherman wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 9:36 am It may be that MM is looking for specific audio book file formats such as .M4B.
