About

Audio Book Converter converts any number of MP3 files into one big M4B audiobook file, mostly known on audiobook for iPods/iPhones. The advantage of doing this is that you can make use of the advanced audio book functionality of your audiobook player.

Your iPod or iPhone remembers the last position you were listening in your audiobook. So you can always start listening where you stopped the last time. Even if you were listening to music or another audio book in the meantime.

This feature gets really valuable for audio books consisting of many small files. With this software you can combine all this files to a single file and you don't have to worry anymore on which file you stopped listening the last time.

Audio Book Converter runs on 64-bit version of Windows. There is no version for Mac or Linux yet.

Development

Before i wrote this program, i used MP3 to iPod Audiobook converter for many years. This solution worked fine, but was not very slow especially on 64-bit version of Windows with many processor cores. So, during X-mas break I decided to improve it a bit, by upgrading encoders to 64-bit version and found there is a lot of space for other speed improvements, a moment later I found myself missing some key features of audiobooks - artwork and chapters - while break was not yet over. And "Audio Book Converter V2" is the result. Florian Fankhauser (author of original version) has released it under the GNU General Public License in hope someone may find it useful, so I did not have much choice ;)

Enjoy it!
