Count the audiobook hour # progress; not the listening time.

For anyone with ADHD, ADD, or anything that can hinder your listening focus, the audiobook feature is unsatisfactory. 

 

Currently, if I listen to an hour of an audiobook but need to rewind it 3 times because I can't follow along, I don't understand what I missed, or my mind tuned parts out, Spotify will count that as 3 listening hours instead of one hour of an audiobook. 

 

If we can get a change to the audiobook hour count that counts how much of the book we've listened to instead of how many hours spent listening, I think that would improve the usability a lot for those with disabilities and for honestly many other users as well. 

 

Another example for the sake of clarity: If I listened to 5 hours of a book but replayed the first hour 3 times, please count it as 5 hours instead of 8 hours. I feel I'm being punished for something I'm doing my best to improve and work with. 

 

I have seen similar suggestions close and I know this might be petty but here's a screenshot of a Spotify agent saying this should not close and will be submitted to Spotify.
