I’m currently looking for a replacement to castbox. Castbox us OK, but I want to learn what else good is out there. Bonus points for one that has movement-sensitive sleep timer the way Smart AudioBook Player has.

UPDATE: Testing out Antennapod. Looks nice, and seems to do what I want it to do. I need to experiment with the auto-download a bit and see if it behaves the way I want it to. If it does, we have a winner.

    Audiobookshelf, because I self host my audiobooks and it supports podcasts as well. This way I have them available anywhere, it allows me to have control over my podcasts and I don’t have to worry about anyone shutting down the service unexpectedly.

      How do you self host audiobooks if you don’t mind my asking? As in where do you get them? Are there reputable places to buy them for download, or are you somehow extracting from audible/libby/etc?
