(tongue in cheek) 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. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: importing audiobooks into iTunes
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.

Re: importing audiobooks into iTunes
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.

importing audiobooks into iTunes
Hello, I have a lot of audio books on CD that I would love to import into my iTunes library in order to put onto my iPhone. In the past my audiobooks has gone into the music library. However I’ve noticed that there is an audiobook setting on iTunes. Is it possible to direct my CD audiobooks into this library instead of the music library? Thank you for your insight.

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.

Re: Importing audiobooks into Itunes continued
I thought the join files option would do the trick. Another idea that comes to mind is going into iTunes, select your created audio book, use command I to get info, select options and check the box that says Part of a gapless album. . If this doesn't work, I'm wondering if the space between the tracks is dead air on the actual file, rather than space between the files. Brett C.

Help importing audiobooks into itunes.
Hi all. I use Audiobook Builder to convert audiobooks to the bookmarkable format. For the most part, it works great. However, if I convert something like a radio play where tracks are seamlessly joined together, it leaves little gaps between them. Has anyone got any other suggestions? I don't want to manually splice the files together. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
