I think this topic lies somewhere between the phone and tablet forum but I am posting it here as there seems to be more about audiobook type stuff here which is really the key part.

I have a nexus 5 phone and I have been using MortPlayer to play my audiobooks. I recently bought a OTG flash drive to plug into it so I can store all my books on it as they wont fit on my phone.

The problem is MortPlayer cannot see the drive - it only finds books that are actually stored on the phone.

Does anyone know of a different audiobook player which will be able to see books on the flashdrive?

I have found LVC app which sees it but there is no real functionality apart from play/pause/stop.

Thanks for any help and for reading.

Have you tried Smart Audiobook Player?

I did download that but it only sees internal storage - it cant read the flash drive.

Someone has suggested I try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mount&hl=en_GB - i will give it a go.

The description of the well regarded VLC Player suggests it may be able to play from USB...

Thank you - I did try VLC and it does work but it has none of the nice audiobook functionality like sleep options and moving onto the next chapter .

One of the audiobook developers (listen audiobook) is being brilliant and trying to get his app to work with OTG drives.

Here's an audiobook app that requests the USB permission so also should work...

I have used Akimbo player for many years, almost daily and has served me well.

But Smart Audiobook Player is great.
You can easily select a root folder, all my audiobooks sit on my mini sd card in a folder called audiobooks, so its just settings> Root folder and then go to your sd card and select the folder and it brings in only those in that folder to the app.
