Audio book player for macOS 11.5
I'm looking for an application to play my mp3 audio books on macOS 11.5. On an older system, I was using ecoute, but this does not seem to work under macOS 11.5.
Required features:
-
resume the current playlist/book from the timestamp when I last closed the application
-
can be controlled via the play/previous/next media buttons on the keyboard even if another application is in the foreground
-
keeps playing even if the window of the application is closed
Bonus points:
-
for free/open source software
-
if it can deal with my existing
.m3uplaylists

After a lot of trial and error, I finally found cog which wonderfully satisfies my wish list.
There are two other players which came close:
-
https://iina.io/ (needs to keep a window open)
-
https://vox.rocks/mac-music-player/ (needs additional tool to be accessible via media buttons; often failed to quit and had to kill the process via the activity monitor)
