I routinely listen to books with 30 or more chapters so it is painful. I have tried nQa and it is a breeze to use and will be switching to it and give you feedback (I listen to audio books every day on my way back and forth to work).
I'm afraid I can't really answer that. Back (in January I think) when I tried Pannucci, it did not automatically change to the next chapter when one was finished, nQa does that. Also I dont think Pannuci plays the .awb files that was needed by the nokia player. But I must admit that I haven't kept up with Pannuci features since starting this.
Anyways, give it a whirl if you have the time and perhaps report back here,
I hope it you enjoy it.
As far as awb files go, I doubt Pannucci will use them. However, it was painfully slow to create them with the PC portion of Nokia Audiobook Reader (I only have an underpwered Netbook as all my computing for work is from a desktop which I was loathe to add the Nokia software to). With the extra memory available on the N900 compared to my Symbian phone I have just been downloading the MP3s and listening. I don't leave books that I have completed on the device so I have found it not to be a problem.
Thanks for the work and the great app!
Fred

Nice. Any chance of seeing a Diablo version?
If you are a developer, I can make the code more available for you to have a look at, or I can select both Diablo and fremantle when I upload the next version and see if it works. But that will require you to test it from extras-devel.

But I'm glad nQa works for you.

I don't understand, are you having trouble with books with cyrillic/arabic characters in their titles?
I hoped this was fixed in 0.7.1 (in testing since this morning), do you know if you have that version?
Sorry for not giving the version number, I was using the first version. Updated and tried modifying the folder structure in 0.7.2-1 and this didn't cause a crash. Thank you for a really handy app.

If you want me to vote to promote the app, let me know when you are ready.
Thanks again,

Would it be possible to add support for Apple audiobook format a4b? It is pretty much the same as a4c (aac) but with a4b extension and I guess some chapter support.
It has huge advantage over mp3 -> Single big file. I guess AWB has that too, but I already have 40 gigabytes of Audiobooks in A4B format...

I love the program! I just have one idea- would it be possible to let the cover-picture be a play/ pause button? Just like in Panucci?
Have anyone with skills been able to test the battery consumtion between panucci and nqaap?

Thanks for the application; I look forward to trying it out on the N900.

I would really like to thank everyone who have tested and commented on nqaap do far. As you may have guessed it is my first open source app released to the public, and all your kind words and support are a big deal to me.
Anyways, the version currently in testing is 0.7.2 and this version has the "click 'n' go" seekbar perviously suggested,
And now for your comments:

All nqaap is really doing is keeping track of feeding gstreamer the files in the right order. So if gstreamer supports a4b (and some quick googling suggests it does at least support aac) it could possibly work. I will look into it further, do you know where I can get such files for testing?

Hoping a developer takes you up on your offer. Would be nice on Maemo4
