My file manager doesn't seem to find where the audio files are that I downloaded.

What is the path to the files so I could grab them and put it somewhere else so Google Play can see them

Thx

I am assuming you are referring to audio files for Gospel Library since you posted in that forum. Gospel Library audio files are not downloaded to the android device default download location for audio files but are found in the sub-folder for Gospel Library and are not readily accessible by other device applications. This is done to protect the copyrighted files from access except by Gospel Library.

Have you tried finding your answer on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org Help Center or Tech Wiki?

If you want audio files to be accessible outside of Gospel Library, I'd recommend downloading them directly from LDS.org. This is probably the easiest place to go to download audio files: https://www.lds.org/media-library/audio?lang=eng

I explore all the folders in the Gospel Library app but I can't find where the audio files for the Book of Mormon are located. The Gospel Library app says that the files are downloaded. I don't really know where those files are and I need to know exactly what folder there in.

This is the path, but you probably won't be able to get to the files unless your device is rooted:
/data/data/org.lds.ldssa/files/content/content-audio

Ver 3 of Gospel Library it let me grab the audio files that I downloaded and put them somewhere else.

this version 4 is frustrating because I still think that there has to be a way to continue grabbing the audio files and putting it somewhere else

I shouldn't have to root my device just because I'm in version 4

I've downloaded General Conference talks, and I'm not able to locate them. I hope that I don't have have to be connected to the internet for me to listen to audio downloads.

Download a video and Bookmark it in Gospel Library app.

I have been searching for the audio I downloaded and I found it! Go to settings in the Gospel Library. You will see Content and under that is downloaded media and the amount you have. Click on the Downloaded media word. It will show you what you downloaded and you can see subfiles under it. I was able to play the Liahona mag I had downloaded from there. What I could not figure out was how to make it "play all" or go to next download on it's own. So each article I had to manually go back in and select the next one. Big pain because I was walking the dog. If anyone knows that let me know.

You can also play downloaded audio by going to the Liahona itself in the main library. When audio is downloaded, it will use the downloaded audio when playing; otherwise, it will stream the audio or use text-to-speech. When you navigate in to content from the main library, and start listening, it will auto-advance to the next article or chapter by default. You can verify that offline audio works by temporarily turning on airplane mode.
