Cozy is an open-source audio book player with a modern user interface. It’s written in Python programming language. Since version 1.3.0, the app is ported to GTK+ 4 and LibAdwaita for its user interface, and works in Linux and Mac OS.<\/p>\n
Cozy<\/a> automatically scans media library and imports your audiobooks in one directory. You can also drag and drop and audiobook into the app window to import it.<\/p>\n As a GTK app, it’s well integrated in Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux with Gnome Desktop. And dark mode<\/b><\/i> is available to work at night. With libhandy library, it has an adaptive user interface<\/b> that works well in different screen sizes, e.g., on PC, laptop, and mobile.<\/p>\n audio-book player features:<\/p>\n Cozy has an official Ubuntu PPA<\/a> that so far contains packages for Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 23.10, and Ubuntu 24.04.<\/p>\n NOTE: Due to this bug<\/a>, copy has package conflict to Gnome Extension Manger app. If you want to install both apps in your system, use the Flatpak package (See Option 2) instead!<\/b><\/p>\n Though Ubuntu 20.04<\/b> is not supported due to outdated libraries, it still can be installed via little modification.<\/p>\n 1. Add Cozy PPA<\/b><\/p>\n Firstly press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard or search for and open ‘terminal’ from start menu. When it opens, run command to add the PPA repository:<\/p>\n Type user password, no asterisk feedback, when it asks and hit Enter to continue.<\/i><\/p>\n 2. Install dependencies and modify PPA for Ubuntu 20.04 ONLY!<\/b><\/p>\n For Ubuntu 20.04<\/i> and Linux Mint 20<\/i>, you can either tweak PPA and install mismatched dependency libraries manually, or install Flatpak<\/b> package (see next step<\/i>) instead.<\/p>\n a.) Open “Software & Updates” utility, and navigate to “Other Software” tab. There choose and edit the Cozy PPA repository, and change value focal<\/i> to hirsute<\/i> for Distribution<\/b> so it will install the package for Ubuntu 21.04 Hirsute instead.<\/p>\n b.) Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run commands to download & install updated python3-peewee and python3-mutagen libraries.<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/b> since the command download & install 64-bit packages for Desktop PC\/Laptop. For mobile or other devices, you can grab them by searching the package name in packages.ubuntu.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n c.) Add PPA for Libhandy-1 library.<\/p>\n Ubuntu 20.04 also lacks libhandy-1 library, which can be installed from another PPA via the maintainer. Open terminal and run command to add the PPA:<\/p>\n You don’t have to run a individual command to install the library, because the next apt command will automatically install it as a dependency package.<\/i><\/p>\n\n
