I’m having trouble “joining” a book cd. It’s making me humble… I’ve highlighted them (in order); I’ve “get Info” -ed them as a group, so they all have the same artist, album artist & name, genre, disc Number 2 of 4;

I still CANNOT tell it to “join CD track” because that is still gray. If i try to import they go only as “track 1”, “track 2” etc.

i had no problem with disc 1

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…

Hey guys,
just try to use: MP3 to iPod Audio Book Converter; its simple, but doesn’t allow chaptering. It works out pretty well and I use it all the time. It’s quite small though!
Have fun ;)

To you looking for a Win32 version of an audiobook converting tool, try out Bookmarkable. i think that is the name of it. You cant do chaptering, but such is the life of using windows.

@Paul: Yes, I’ve been “on the lookout” for a Windows tool, but in all honesty that mostly consists of waiting for a good referral from a reader, or happening across it in an article or blog post.

Certainly, if you’re sufficiently obsessive (like me), it’s possible (though a lot of work) to merge tracks manually with an audio tool like “Audacity”:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. But a simple tool that does exactly what you need to make audiobooks into one track…? Without something like AppleScript, I suspect that’s a high-effort, low-reward project for a developer on Windows, which makes it somewhat unlikely…

we just need a nice XP tool now.
