Product Description:

How do you move Audiobooks to your iPod? Do you rip to iTunes, moving every imported track to a special playlist before syncing? That means hundreds of confusing track names cluttering iTunes and your iPod, no way to save your place in a track when you take a break, and working with iTunes' Import settings just gets old.


Now there's Audiobook Builder, the easy way to import your Audiobook CDs (or tracks that are already on your Mac), organize them and output files that your iPod recognizes as actual Audiobooks. The results are automatically sent to a special playlist in iTunes - ready for your next iPod sync.


No more wading through hundreds of tracks on your iPod. No more wasted space. And no more losing your place - it's saved automatically each time you take a break from listening to your favorite Audiobooks.


Features Include:
  • Audio file joining: Already ripped your CDs? There's no need to suffer through it again.
  • Enhanced chapter stops: Custom artwork you specify will appear in iTunes and on iPods with a color display.
  • Adjustable quality settings: Start with the included presets, but feel free to customize each project's audio settings to suit your personal taste.
  • iTunes integration: Audiobook Builder can add the current selection in iTunes to your projects. It can also send its output directly to a special playlist in iTunes.
  • Quite a memory: Each Audiobook Builder project's audio data is contained in the project document file, so you are free to start a project now, take a break and return to finish your project later. You can even move projects between Macs, if necessary.

What's new in this version:

  • Supports artwork associated with iTunes tracks
  • Compatibility fix so Audiobooks play properly under iPhone OS 2.x
  • File previews now play properly and stop when Projects are closed
  • Properly handles umlauts and forward slashes when saving Chapter art files
  • Prevents multiple documents from opening simultaneously via drag and drop
  • Robust fix for crashes related to QuickTime 7.5

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Audiobook Builder Troubleshooting ReportRebuild old, incompatible Audiobooks automatically - Version: 1.0.11, 9/15/2008 02:28AM PST

"What's new in this version 1.0.11:
Compatibility fix so Audiobooks play properly under iPhone OS 2.x"

Does this mean, all AudioBooks made with Versions BEFORE 1.0.11
do NOT play properly under iPhone OS 2.x?

If that would be the case, the Programmer MUST give us a feature in 1.0.12,
that allows rebuilding an Audiobook, without it being necessary for us users,
to do anything else, than, to give the one order to automatically rebuild to a new,
compatible Version of the incompatible AudioBook.

Audiobook Builder ReviewGreat App, but some refinement would be nice ... - Version: 1.0.10, 9/10/2008 12:53AM PST

It would be great, if we could edit more ID3-tag-Infos
when preparing the AudioBook.

Now, when we want to have these infos inside the AudioBook,
we have to take the already "ready" AudioBook,
a second time "into our hands",
and edit it in iTunes, what is very time consuming.

The programmers should let us edit not only Titel and Author,
but also
Year, Genre, Comment, Album, etc.

Audiobook Builder ReviewDoes What it Says! - Version: 1.0.10, 8/4/2008 02:34PM PST

Rather than repeat what has already been said, I will just add an amen to the previous reviews. Audiobook Builder works as described. Simple and effective. Use it with M4PConverter and it'll pay for itself. Save $ and the planet by not wasting CDs to burn legally owned media - only to import back to a HD for storage.
