Audible Audiobooks - Streaming Annoyance
I use the Audible Streaming on the computer, and keep running into an issue where I want to replay a scene ( I tend to get distracted easily with audio), but when I click "back" it goes back to the beginning of the chapter instead of just that scene.
As with the book I'm on now, this particular chapter it backtracked to is over an hour and was nowhere near the scene that I wanted to "replay". I forgot (again) that it goes back this far since I hadn't been keeping track of the chapters, was just listening. This is beyond frustrating. I should be able to backtrack briefly and re-hear a scene where I missed something important, without going back so far. Any suggestions? Is there a way to tweak it that I'm not aware of? Another way to listen to Audible Audiobooks that offers more options? I can use my phone but when the computer is available I prefer it since it saves on my battery/resources.

I do listen on Windows 10 on two computers, but mine doesn't have the double buttons. I press "listen" from the cloud player. If downloading the App for PC fixes this, I will do that when I get home. Thank you greatly, didn't know there was a difference in options between the two to this degree. |

I may consider bringing one of my old phones to work and when I'm out for the app instead of using a computer. The computer is just so conveniently there, and at home I have the surround speakers hooked up to it when I'm doing my computer duties. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. |

Maybe I was just missing the obvious. I feel kind of stupid now, I see the 30 second buttons this time. *facepalms*

You can also tweak those "jump back" and "jump forward" circular arrows to a little more or less time (the Android app says from 1s - 300s). 30 seconds is a pretty good number to start with, then tweak if you find you go back too far (you catch it quickly, so need less time) or have to hit it a few times. Mine's set at 20 seconds because I tend to catch right away that I want to listen to a certain bit again.
