- and some more, just check the preferences...
Used permissions:
Phone state: Used to pause during a call. Otherwise it would only be muted by the system.
Wake lock: So the playback isn't stopped when you turn off the screen. Also for some optional features like disabling the auto screen off during playback.
Disable keyguard: In case you only want to use the app's lock screen. (And not return to the default one afterwards.)
Write/delete external storage: For some internal files in \.MortPlayer, e.g. cached folder covers from ID3 tags and track order lists.
Internet: Ads (AdMob)
Boot completed: To reschedule the alarm clock after boot.
Tasks: For "StopService" activity, to avoid the system returns to player afterwards

I love this app for playing audio books. It keeps track of your place in as many files as you want and auto pauses on headphone removal

way to go, Mort! An option/feature which I think would be nice is that once a track has played it is erased. On occasion I've lost my place and a track replayed and I wondered why I was experiencing deja vu.

Does this have 2x speed reading? That's the #1 thing look for in any audio book app but I don't see it in this app. Good app but speed is a must!!

Terrific audio book player. I use it with my A2DP cart stereo over Bluetooth with no problems. Love that it pauses/resumes on disconnect/reconnect.

Pretty good. Could have better usability but works fine. I will keep using for as long as playerpro lacks autoresume for multiple tracks. Go mort!

CM7 N1. Pointed it at a directory of audio books (m4b files). It doesn't recognize that anything is there and won't play them. Opening the files with the Android Music application works fine. I wish this application worked so I could use cool features like bookmarks, covers, etc.
