My Question or Issue

Hello there,

I have uploaded some audiobooks from my local storage and use them within Spotify. I have these synced to my IOS device as well.

I was wondering if there is a way to mark these as audiobooks so the listening to location is saved when I leave and come back to the audiobook, as it does with podcasts within Spotify.

If this is not possible is there a way to request this feature?

Thank you in advance.

Sam

I would love for this idea to be implemented. I want to upload local files with the ability to capture listening progress when switching to something else, similar to podcasts and audiobooks.
