Resuming from a cloud drive or other remote source asks it for audio again, so a slow source shows a spinner. After 1.13.1: a short pause (under 10 minutes, same output, no interruption) continues at once; if the system closes the app while paused, reopening reuses audio already downloaded; putting headphones back on no longer restarts the wait; pausing while loading stops at once; with no network it stops within seconds (“Cannot connect to source”); on a slow network it waits while audio arrives, else shows “Network too slow to load audio”.
If it still spins after half a minute, check your network and tap Play again once it is back.
When you see “Cannot connect to source”, your place is saved; tap Play to continue from there.
“Network too slow to load audio” means you are connected but the network is too slow; move somewhere with better signal and tap Play, or download the chapters first.
Turn on Always Download for audiobooks you listen to often, or download the chapters before you leave.
If the spinner still happens often, send feedback from the app with diagnostics attached and note roughly when it happened.
Overview
Resuming from a cloud drive or other remote source asks it for audio again, so a slow source shows a spinner. After 1.13.1: a short pause (under 10 minutes, same output, no interruption) continues at once; if the system closes the app while paused, reopening reuses audio already downloaded; putting headphones back on no longer restarts the wait; pausing while loading stops at once; with no network, playback stops within seconds with “Cannot connect to source” and keeps your place; on a slow network it keeps waiting while audio arrives and stops with “Network too slow to load audio” only after a long silence. Tap Play once the network is back. Turn on Always Download for audiobooks you play on weak connections.
