Ratings and reviews

First off, I've been using the Listen Audiobook Player for years and I love it. Best player out there and I've tried them all. Great job! Now for some suggestions on the few minor things that frustrate me :) 1. Please provide more flexibility in the library list view. Audiobooks can have tags that are needed to easily find the books in large libraries. I would like to be able to a) reduce/change the font size in the list, b) add certain tags to the list view (series, author/artist).

I have been using this app for over 8 years at this point, and I'm still a big fan. However, I'd like to ask the author if it would be possible to upgrade the Android Auto mode to include a Library mode where I can browse my books by Author - I have long running shows (>200 episodes per show) that I like to listen to and if I have even a fraction of my episodes (>5000 in total) on my phone, selecting anything in the car is almost impossible (besides "newly added").

Latest update just broke this app for me. It won't let me use the audiobook folder I've been using for years. And no explanation for what changed or why. Update: Since I first started using Listen years ago, I have been using a folder I created for my audiobooks. A few days after I left the above review, the app started working again. Still annoyed that there was no explanation in the app, and no error message explaining what needed to be done. Otherwise, still a great app.
