# How to install
On OpenBSD I imported cozy in December 2021 so it will be available
from OpenBSD 7.1 or now in -current, a simple "pkg_add cozy" is
required to install.
On Linux, there is a flatpak package if your distribution doesn't
provide a package.
# Features
Cozy provides a few features making it more interesting than a regular
music player:
* keep track of your advancement of each book
* playback speed can be changed if you want to listen faster (or
slower)
* automatic rewind can be configured when you resume playing, it's
useful when you need to pause when disturbed and you want to resume the
playback
* sleep timer if you want playback to stop after some time
* the UI is easy to use and nice
* can make local copies of audio books from remote sources
