HI Jürgen,
You're right, I'm sorry. Before sending you that last email I saw the track 
list button but didn't press it.
Later that night I was reading an audiobook and tried using it, but it only 
showed me the audio files, not the chapters/tracks. In my case it was a book 
from audible which was in two parts (that is, two files) which were each 
divided into chapters. After tapping the title, I could see the two 
parts/files. Annoyingly, VoiceOver read out the length of each file before the 
name, which is a change (and a bad one) since iOS6.
Once I started playing one of these files I could use the next and previous 
buttons to skip through chapters/tracks. However, tapping the track list button 
merely brought up the two parts/files, not the chapters.
More annoyingly still, the time scrubber thing now shows the time for the 
entire file, not just the chapter. This is another change since iOS6. In iOS6 
it would just show the time for the current track, now it has the time for the 
whole file. As the time for the whole file is longer, so the increments it 
skips are larger when you flick up or down. So for me, I could skip forward and 
back by 15-30 seconds using the buttons either side of the play/pause button, 
or skip forward/back by one hour blocks with the scrubber. This discrepancy 
made it really difficult to find my place in the book.
I think this is worth writing to Apple accessibility about and explaining the 
affect this has on VoiceOver users. I presume it's fine for sighted people as 
they can probably just touch the scrubber at the point they wish to be, whereas 
VoiceOver users have to flick up and down by set increments.
This is really disappointing as one of the reasons I loved my iPod and iPhone 
was the awesome way in which Apple handled the playing of audiobooks.
Best,
Nic
