Hi Guys, I want to convert all my Star Wars Audio books (previously purchased on CD and Cassette and imported into iTunes as Music Albums). This program looks to be exactly what I need to covert and move things into the Audiobooks folder (and clean out my music library so it doesn't look like I have 16,000+ songs, since each track is a song). However, I can't get the formats to match up with newer audiobooks that I have purchased from iTunes and I hope you can help. Those purchased unabridged books are usually showing as just 2 parts of 4-6+ hours each, but while I'm listening, I can skip between chapters inside those parts. I've spent probably close to 12 hours over the last week joining and splitting and rejoining my CDs in Audiobook Builder and I can't re-create this format. Example: For a 13-CD book, if I make each CD a chapter, then I have 13 Chapters of approx 1:15 length each, but there's no distinction between the smaller files in those chapters, and therefore no skipping. I've tried choosing both the "Break between Files" option and the "Break between Chapters" option but neither one seems to work the way I need. I even tried to double-join some CDs last night (first all the files together, then 5 CDs together as a part, but that didn't work either). And I tried "Per Chapter" on another book, but that didn't do it. And I'm not sure I understand the time length method at all. I'm just looking to find the correct method to make the books I've created match the ones I've purchased for a totally uniform look in my library. Thanks in advance for your help (and my wife thanks you for helping clean out our music library). |

To maintain the ability to skip between the individual tracks that come off of a CD, it's necessary to leave each track as a single Chapter—a Chapter is represented by a single listing in Audiobook Builder's Chapters section that has a wine-colored bookmark symbol by it. Any CDs you've joined in existing projects can be selected and then hitting the Split button will do the trick. After that, building using any Part Style besides 'Per Chapter' with the Target Length slider all the way to the right will give you minimal Part files each with the desired Chapter breaks within. |
