The part is what drives me mad. Podcasts and audiobooks are not that hard to do properly. You could very easily separate them into distinct apps or at least a special tab that acts like a proper player. Instead audiobooks are basically albums.

There's a shuffle button.

On an audiobook.

Nah, what's worse is that it's only 15(!) hours per month!

Which for most people would give you a week of audiobooks to listen to in your commute to work.

Sure, but it also only counts book time. If you listen 2x it's only 7.5 hours.

Yup this is what irks me most. I don't think of audio books and music in the same context. Why the fuck are they mashing them together? Wrapped includes podcasts.....
