That app is not needed if you use this player instead of iTunes: http://www.superutils.com/products/angels-vox/
It is advertised as the very first audio book player. It can remember the last played track&position per each playlist (audio book), and creating of joined M4B is not required at all.

When I try to import an audio book transferring MP3 files from my my pc, they don’t save into iTunes correctly. They are out of sequence. I dropped and dragged them in the correct form but when they are in itunes they are jumbled. I don’t know how to delete them from iTunes and try to just drag one file at a time either. Can you help?

So what is the best way to link tracks togeather after they are imported to itunes to make an audiobook on a PC?

P.S. for macs audiobook builder is the best.

@BadCam: Thanks for the updated link, I’ve corrected it in the story above. I hadn’t noticed that the tool had moved. Hopefully the new link is more permanent. The other link is supposed to go to that other post, so it works as intended.

It seems that your links aren’t working. Neither the Teridon’s Audiobook Helper link, nor the link to “recommended a few tools for importing audiobooks” link. The first gives a 404 error and the second goes to your “hwo to join multiple audiobooks in to single audio file” page. The programme looks great, similar to MP3tag but perhaps more advanced. I can’t find it on Google either. No, I lie. Here it is. I just had to search for “audiobook helper” only: http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/audiobook_helper/index.html

Your site looks great and has now been bookmarked. Thanks.

@Joe: Whenever you’re dealing with an unfamiliar file extension, it’s often useful to look up what the file kind is. For example, “the .cda extension”:http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/cda is described as:

Shortcut to a track on an audio CD; plays the referenced track on the CD when opened; therefore, the CD must be in the CD-ROM drive for the shortcut to work correctly.

So most likely you don’t have the actual audio tracks, and therefore there’s nothing to convert. What happens when you double-click them? What about if you copy the file to your computer, and then eject the CD, and then double-click it?

I have read your many articles on taking audiobook cd’s and importing them into iTunes and then onto a iPod. You talk about MP3 CD’s. What about audio cd that have a .cda extension? How does one covert, import or whatever to get these into iTunes Audiobooks. I really would like them in this Library instead of into the Music Library.

it does seem to work if you join up the cd tracks before using the program, now if only i could link several cd’s together in “chapter” format like the audible books… i’d be set.

Thanks for linking to my program. @Donna: Sorry, there is no built-in way to join tracks. I’m not sure what would happen if you did it manually in iTunes first before importing using my program.

I welcome constructive feedback. You can email me at the address provided from the “Instructions” button in the program. You can also get my email address by clicking the PayPal button on my web page (you don’t need to donate to get my address).
