Hi!
I’ve never had any luck with it but did not give it a real try either.
Guess i have to mess around with it.

Re: importing audiobooks into iTunes

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

For various reasons, I leave my CD audiobooks in my Music library.  I don’t 
mind too terribly.

The biggest reason that putting CD rips into the Audiobooks folder doesn’t work 
is that iTunes is not so great at supporting any book bigger than one track.  
In particular, iTunes plays alphabetically by name all tracks, irrespective of 
the books from which they came.  So you could listen to Track01 of book 1, and 
then Track01 of book 2.  If you want these books in your Audiobooks folder, you 
will have to join tracks together first, or manually enter sort data in each 
track to prevent that from happening—an arduous and annoying task.  I don’t 
want to ruin my rips, though, so I simply leave them in their respective albums 
in Music.  Bonus: iTunes Match works with them.  Use Get Info, as Andrew 
described, to ensure Audiobook tracks remember position, do not get played when 
shuffling, and you really can’t tell the difference.

If you insist on making working, bookmarkable audiobooks with chapters and 
everything, use a tool like AudioBook Builder.  Take your rips, and bundle them 
up together in M4B files.  Now, drop them in iTunes, and suddenly, you have 
Audiobooks that are properly supported, just like Audible.  Wicked.

Sabahattin,
   Really? Is this some sort of method that keeps the iBooks sector and 
Audible in business? (tongue in cheek)


   Well I think I will get the AudioBook Builder app, its only $5 and 
see how it all works out.

Doubtful, although it was revealed by reverse-engineering of the Audible 
Enhanced format that it is, in fact, an encrypted M4B file (basically an AAC 
file with bookmarks embedded in it).  I’d pay money for a tool that would 
losslessly decrypt Audible files into their M4B equivalents.  More if it also 
handled FairPlay videos.  More still if it resulted in the decimation of the 
legal straw men that keep this nonsense alive and well.

Re: importing audiobooks into iTunes

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Vaughn,

If your book has .mp3 file extension, and often they do, itunes assume they are 
music tracks.  Find your audiobook in the music library, open the contextual 
menu with vo+shift+m, arrow down to "get info" item and press enter.  Now you 
will have a few tabs to choose from.  Details and options are the two tabs I'd 
look for.  You need to highlight each tab first and then vo+arrow keys to the 
right till you hear scroll area with which you need to interact.  There you 
will find various things you can adjust.  Once you finish, stop interacting and 
highlight another tab if you wish.  When done, stop interacting with the scroll 
area and to the very right there's an ok button.  In the scroll area, you will 
find items like "kind" and genre"  Change them to audiobook and itunes should 
list them in among your audiobooks.

Hope this helps a little.

Andrew

hI Brett.  I tried that, but it still leaves a gap between the files.  If I 
import the tracks of the radio play as music, they play seamlessly so there's 
no dead air in the files.

 Hi all.
 
 I tried using the join function in Audiobook Builder but it still leaves a

 Any more ideas on how I could fix this?
