It would be nice if this app didn't include all the audio files within the saved doc. Actually, it's ridiculous that it doesn't just save references to the original files. My saved doc is around 2GB and I still need to add several chapters.

Great app, better than the other's I've tried; and it's only $5.99 on the AppStore.

As an audiobook lover, I fell in love with the easiness and possibilities of Audiobook Builder. I used this app for many years to build hundreds of audiobooks from different sources. I never had any problems. The interface is very clever and the developer is permanently adding really useful features.

If you are tired to handle a bunch of files for a single audiobook, or you want to build sophisticated audiobooks, you seriously should keep an eye on this application.

For less than 10 $ it's probably the best investment I've ever made.

This tool will prove to be an essential part of my workflow as I produce a podcast featuring chapter-based releases. The price is well worth it, given its simplicity and feature set. It "just works" in places where other tools seem to fail. Thanks the developer!

Add me to the list of very happy customers. Easily converts a folder of audiobook mp3 "chapters" in to a single bookmark-able media file in iTunes. Very easy to use and *so* much better than trying to rename and sort sound files to play in the proper order.

This just works. Much more reliable than my Markable/PC version was. Particularly like that you can save projects in progress and that you can reorder disks if you happen to import them in the wrong order. Creates nice compact file size even on high quality.

This is a great program.
I have been using iTunes when I want to download an audio book for my iPod but quite often I can't use the "join audio tracks" which is a must otherwise you end up with all these unnamed tracks. An audio book usually has a number of discs and on some of them I may be able to "join the tracks" but those are very few indeed.
I'm somewhat of an illiterate as far as computers go, but this program is simple to follow and does a great job. (especially considering I only paid $7.98}

I love audiobooks and am an Audible subscriber, but it is nice to use the local library for their selection also. After jerking around importing CDs into iTunes and making playlists and typing them as audiobooks, I would still end up with a messy workflow. I bought version 1 and it made the process easier, just enough to be worth the money. With each rev it got better. The current version is almost perfect. Start the project, feed it CDs when it asks for them, click finished and let it do the rest.

Good program that I've been using since version 1.0. There used to be an issue with audiobook files it created that were longer than 2 hours causing iPod playback to quit, but this seems to have been corrected some time ago, as I've had no problems with recent versions. Well worth the nominal fee.

Nice program and does what it says. However, I find it can get lost and reset to beginning of file. I am using an iPod nano (gen 1) and when it hits some (not all) chapter boundries it loses its place and stops playing. Is this an first gen iPod problem? Is there a way of seeing play count of each of the chapters?

Key Features:
  • 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: Drag and drop straight from iTunes to your Audiobook Builder projects. Audiobook Builder 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.
