Create Your Own Audiobooks
These goodies make it almost too easy.
-
Import CDs
As you import, Audiobook Builder automatically ejects each CD and asks for the next.
-
Join your own audio files
Already ripped your CDs? Don’t suffer through it again. Drag tracks straight to Audiobook Builder. M4A or M4B with audio formats that match well enough can be quickly joined without re-encoding. Other common audio formats, like MP3, are also supported.
-
Create enhanced chapter stops
Give your audiobooks that special touch by grouping your audio files into chapters with custom names and artwork. Apple devices usually give you controls to move quickly between chapters during playback.
-
Choose your own quality
Get started with built-in audio quality presets or customize to your personal taste.
-
Select AAC or HE-AAC
Go with AAC for the highest quality at higher data rates, great for music-heavy works when you have storage to spare. Use HE-AAC for excellent quality at lower data rates, perfect for spoken word.
-
Send your audiobooks to Books or Music
Drag and drop straight from Music or iTunes to Audiobook Builder and build directly to Books, Music, or iTunes.
-
Start now, finish later
When you add audio to Audiobook Builder it’s copied to a document file, so you’re free to start a project now, take a break, and return later to finish up. You can even move projects between Macs!

I cant say enough great things about his app. Is has saved both my money and sanity. I drive alot and the sheer quantity of audiobooks I go through would break the bank so it is perfect borrowing CDs form the library and using this app to put them into itunes so they can be accessed from anywhereon any devic.. The pages are bookmarked and they stay in a nice book format with a cover art you choose. So gald I have this app.

Building audiobook files from books on CD is even easier than expected with this app. After starting the process using an external, USB CD player, the app ejects each CD when it's ready for the next one. The user doesn't even have to go back to the app to start with the next CD in the set, since simply inserting the next disc will start the ripping process. This is perfect for doing other tasks while using this app. Thank you!

It does exactly what it says it will do. I have a handful of Audiobooks in mp3 format. Itunes likes to put it in Music when I try to sync my iPad. THis app let me recompile the audiobook in a different format that itunes likes. Now it shows up AS AN AUDIOBOOK. My Musicis just music, andthat’s music to my ears.
