Cozy For Linux

Audiobooks can be all things for all people. They can be a great learning tool, yet they can also be the perfect way to unwind for some people. Regardless, it's somewhat agreed upon that an audiobook can bring a lot of value to most people's lives.

If you're an audiobook aficionado and you want a nice little app to play those audiobooks on Linux, then definitely check out Cozy.

Cozy is a free, open-source, and modern audiobook Player mainly designed for GNOME (even though it should work without problems on most Linux distributions).

Usually, a good audiobook player app should be as easy-to-use as possible, it should look good, and it must come with support for most audiobook formats.

Cozy ticks all the above boxes, and even brings a series of very interesting features.

These include options to thoroughly sort your audiobooks by author, reader, and name, automatic playback position reload, playback speed control, offline mode, drag and drop support, and Mpris integration (media keys and playback info).

As expected, it comes with support for pretty much all DRM-free audiobook formats such as MP3, m4a, (aac, ALAC, etc.), FLAC, OGG, OPUS, and WAV. One of the best features of Cozy is the sleep timer.

This allows you to set the app to automatically either turn off or put your computer to sleep after a set period of time (very useful in those situations where you know you're going to doze off).

When it comes to audiobook players for Linux, Cozy is definitely one of the best. It looks awesome, it has a ton of nice features, it's lightweight, and it perfectly integrates with GNOME desktop environments.
