I think I have an idea of how it might not support audio books. What if audio books had the following issue: > There is a very noticeable pause between each track that it plays, despite the entire thing being queued. > That pause is presumably also present when playing music, but no one notices because each song is its own track. Audiobook tracks split in places where a pause would never occur naturally. It would almost be like it wasn't really built with audio books in mind, but was rather designed around music.

  > If Jellyfin was designed around music I think what you said is a fair response to me, but I wanted to respond to this specific phrasing. I don't think Jellyfin was designed around music. I think music was an afterthought added after the fact, and shoehorned into the rest of the experience. And then I think audiobooks in jellyfin are basically an afterthought of an afterthought. (Again, I'm just responding to clarify if I accidentally conveyed a misconception about Jellyfin's music support)
