Option for Audiobooks to ignore read status for temp playlist
My use case:
Add audio book as folder of series of sequentially named mp3's. Listen to audio as I fall asleep. App settings>playlist>continous playback is ticked. skip played episodes is ticked (otherwise it will go back to ep 1)
When I have found my place, I then need to press and hold each episode that appears as read beyond that one to set to unplayed and reset progress for any that aren't at start, it takes time and is un-necessary on any normal audiobook app which would just play forward from there. Even after doing all this I find the temp playlist often goes wrong.
So I am asking for the option for it to behave as any audiobook app (e.g. Overdrive) and simply play forward from where you are.
Next version of the app shows a small setting screen when you add a new virtual podcast in the app. This allows you to easily disable automatic deletion, automatic marked as played and to customize other settings as well

For now I have started to use another app, Smart Audiobook player, which does everything I need right off the bat. I think there's too much to change in Podcast Addict for it to be perfect for audiobooks (at least ones that come as multiple mp3's)
