Okay. First, when you want to select files noncontiguously for you just follow the ragular procedure. Click the sound menu open and from there, click join files. There's a button which is unlabled and which, when you press it, brings you in to the customary browser window you're used to. Ma

Thanks Ray, I do have a question as I just tried to do this. When you drag and drop files into the area of Amadeus under the join files action, can you drop an entire folder or must they be dropped individually? Further, can you select a bunch of contiguous files then mark them for drag and

After one test, I think this app will be exactly what I was looking for when I posted my question. It does what it says on the box: takes your files, and makes them into an Apple-compatible audio book (M4B file) complete with chapters and optional parts. Well worth the $5, assuming it keeps doin

It should work out if you do not mind the job of building each book the way you want it. No gotchas in this app. I did not choose to send completed jobs straight into iTunes or even into the Automatically Add folder, I like a bit more control over things. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient

Thanks, I'm downloading this app now. It looks promising, provided it proves to be accessible. Any major gotchas I should know going into this? > On Feb 28, 2016, at 17:03, E.T. wrote: > > I am in the process of converting mine to work with iTunes as well. > Audiobook Builder by Splasm is $5.

I should have specified that, beyond simply joining the files end to end, I want to preserve chapter navigation. Each track in the playlist should be its own chapter, ideally. I'd also like to avoid re-encoding these files, as they're already MP3, not uncompressed, raw audio. > On Feb 28, 2016,

that’s exactly what I’m trying to do as well, have these multiple mp3 files join into 1 larger file that can be played as the book it is. Can’t wait to see if this can be done easily. I was looking at joining the files using Amadeus Pro and may still do that but... Jenine Stanley dragonwalke..

Making MP3 files into some kind of audio book?

All, I just remembered I have some audio dramas floating around, each as around 20 chapters meant to be played gaplessly back to back. Is there a simple way of making them into a single file that iOS, iTunes, and/or Voice Dream would see as a single book? I'd prefer iOS/iTunes to VDR, just becau
