Description
Listen to audiobooks on your Android device. Choose an audio folder, including subfolders, or scan indexed device audio. EVB Folder Player works offline with no accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. Your existing audio files are never modified, moved, renamed, or deleted.
To add a book someone sent you, open its ZIP archive with EVB Folder Player from Telegram, a browser download, or a file manager. The app unpacks it into a new folder in your audiobook folder and adds it to the library. Archives made on Windows with Cyrillic file names keep their names.
Browse books and folders with natural filename ordering. A folder found both ways is listed once, and you can remove folders or books you don't want listed; the files stay where they are. Keep an independent listening position for each folder and resume your current book from the library or headphones.
Listening progress is saved during playback and on pause. History, bookmarks, checkpoints before jumps, and undo help you return to an earlier position.
Choose chapters, adjust playback speed, or set a sleep timer. Car mode provides a large play/pause button, separate 20-second jump controls, and an optional keep-screen-on setting. Light, dark, and system themes are available.
If a recording is too quiet, volume boost raises playback by up to 12 dB above Android's maximum volume and compresses loud peaks instead of distorting them.
Playback continues in the background. Pause, resume, or jump 20 seconds back or forward from the lock screen or the notification without unlocking your phone; each jump can be undone. On OPPO, OnePlus and realme phones, turn on Music playback under Live Alerts in Settings to see these controls on the lock screen. Headset next/previous commands are ignored to avoid accidental chapter changes; chapters advance automatically when they finish.
The app stores its library and listening history only on your device. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes that data, leaving your original audio files untouched.
What’s new (0.3.4)
OPPO, OnePlus and realme phones show playback controls on the lock screen only while Live Alerts allows music playback. The app now says so once, the first time you play.
A book found both in a chosen folder and by Scan device audio is listed once. Listening positions are kept.
Remove folders or books from the library with the pencil button. The files stay on the phone.
