Describe the feature/enhancement

Because many audiobooks now have extensive ads and irrelevant content in the opening and ending, it's time-consuming not being able to skip them. However, since the ads in the opening and ending differ for each book, I hope there could be an additional feature to customize skipping the opening for X seconds and skipping the ending for X seconds.
Many audiobook apps, such as Ximalaya, have this feature, and it's crucial. I hope the developers could consider implementing it. Thank you for your work!

In addition to the beginning and end, some audio books may also have introductions or advertisements inserted in the middle, and the duration of different audio books may not be the same. Therefore, I believe that skipping should be set separately for each audiobook and multiple time periods can be added.

If I only have the opportunity to suggest one enhancement feature, then this one is it.

It has not been implemented yet. There are many feature requests and limited dev time. If there is a specific feature you are wanting, code contributions are welcome.
