Thanks for your post. I was looking high and low for something to join audio tracks together. Audiobook builder does the job. Easy to use.

I generally use goldwave, but it’s such powerful software, it seems overkill for such a simple task. Will give some of these suggestions a go next time.

@Peter: You are correct that the iPod and iPhone only organize audiobooks by title, an aggravating limitation. At the very least by author would be extremely useful, and genre would help people who want to manage a lot of shorter works. And with iTunes 10 (and 9, I think) you can still use the File > Get Info panel to change the Options to skip when shuffling, and remember playback position, for all media kinds, so sticking with music doesn’t have that downside.

Something to consider (and I haven’t yet tried this myself), maybe instead of using a Media Kind of Music or Audiobook, perhaps you could change your items to Podcasts? Then you might be able to organize by show, which might give you similar options for grouping, etc. If you try it, let me know how it works!

I tend to record a lot of BBC radio plays, comedies and documentaries. I find it much easier to keep them in mp3 and to deineate them in iTunes and on my iPod as music rather than as audiobooks. The main reason for this is that I can then assign a genre to them which I can use to sort them on the iPod. I don’t think you can search for audiobooks by genre on an iPod.

Windows Users try the freeware application Chapter & Verse at http://lodensoftware.com/chapter-and-verse/ I have been using it for the last 12 months and it works great.

Thank you! From the look of the comments you have made a lot of folks happy. I had a Mac. It died. So my Mac audiobook builder (or maker? I can never remember.) which I loved dearly died with it. Now my new audiobooks don’t play properly again after being downloaded to the iPod from Windows. They just plain STOP in midsentence and I have to pull over by the side of the road and try to figure out where I was. And it happens again and again. Exactly like what happened with my Mac and my audiobooks — before I bought the Mac software. So I downloaded your Windows suggestion and it is converting right now. I hope this Windows software works as well! Thank you again and again. (Why doesn’t Apple fix this audiobook problem anyhow??)
