Disclosure: I’m part of the Torin team behind Empiplayer, and this post was drafted with AI assistance.
Empiplayer is a free, privacy-friendly Android audiobook player for listeners who keep their own MP3/M4B files, including personal libraries on OneDrive. It supports local files and offline downloads, M4B chapters, multi-file books, playback speed, skip and sleep controls, and remembers listening position per file/book. OneDrive access is read-only. There are no ads, analytics, or separate Empiplayer accounts.
We’re looking for real Android listeners for a Google Play closed test. Signing up is not the same as opting in: you privately provide the Gmail address used by Google Play, it is added to the test track, and then you receive Google’s private opt-in link. Please opt in, install the app, remain opted in for 14 continuous days, and use it occasionally. Genuine feedback is welcome. Participation is free and uncompensated.
Please don’t put your email address in comments. Sign up privately here: https://torindrax.com/empiplayer/#beta
The form also has a separate iOS future-release waitlist; iOS signups do not count toward or participate in this Android test.

What about this simple post required AI assistance? This doesn’t bode well for the code quality.

Fair question. The disclosure is there because this instance asks AI-generated or AI-assisted content to be tagged. AI helped draft the recruitment copy; I reviewed it for accuracy before posting. That statement isn't a claim about how the app itself was coded, and I wouldn't ask you to infer code quality either way from a promo post. The closed test is precisely for real users to exercise the app and report what actually works—or doesn't.
