Every book must be in a separate subfolder, even if it consists of only one file.
In Library→Settings→Root folder select the "My Audiobooks" folder.
Once finished, don't forget to press the "Update" button at the top of the Library window.

I use this app every single day, I even bought the full version, something I hardly ever do, not because I needed the features of the full version, but just because I thought the creator deserved it. The best feature, for me, is the sleep function. I often listen to audio books when I go to bed as they help me to get to sleep, so being able to stop playback after a set time period is perfect for this. The only feature I wish the author would add is an arbitrary rewind. So I can just type in how many minutes I want to rewind the playback. As I have a 30 minute sleep timer, when I resume my book I go back 30 minutes and skip forward in 1 minute jumps until I find my place. This means pressing the back button 30 times to start with. I like to keep the navigation buttons set to 1 minute long and 10 seconds short as I use them all a lot during playback. The only time I need to rewind 30 minutes is when I resume reading. It wouldn't be practical to go into settings, change the time period, rewind, then go back into settings and change it back again afterwards.

I had been using the "Simple ABP Free" player for several years, but that won't work with the Bluetooth on my new phone (I did report the problem to them). I have tried many, many players and this (and "Simple ABP Free") are the only two that handle the buttons on my Bluetooth headset the way I want. I'm so happy that I've even paid, which I hardly ever do 😃

A really great app, I can truthfully say that l've tried most, if not all, the audio book reading apps on offer. Smart AudioBook Player is easy to use, quick to find book covers and sort all the books in your library. The author is constantly striving to improve, add new features and sort out any minor bugs. All I can say is, give it a try, the free version is FREE! and subscribed version isn't bank breaking. I'm no longer a youngster, so consequently, finding this app has been a great help.
