It would be especially cool if there was a database function so I could search for and retrieve selected works (and especially excerpts). Does anyone have an idea how this could be done? Will MP3 work for this?

We load all media on hard drives. Simple and accessible anywhere. We just use bog standard media players like vlc.

Podcasts using Doggcatcher on phones / tablets and audible books on our kindles.

We don't touch any apple or proprietary crapware like itunes. That might work if you are 100% apple.

We stream music, audible books and podcasts from our phones to bluetooth speakers / headsets while underway.

All our digital media is mastered on a mirrored raid nas onboard and synced to aws s3 and glacier when we have internet access.
