"GREAT APP! Does what it SAYS it will do in an easy way"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.2.6
Pros
Gives you multiple ways to rip audio books from CDs and either take their chapter marks (tracks) or actually create your OWN based on actual book chapters.
Cons
So far, I haven't found any.

"MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.2.3
Pros
This program allows me to transfer audio books on CD to files I can play on my iPod conveniently and neatly. The resulting "book" is simple to use and allows for an attractive "cover."
Cons
Nothing serious

"100 files becomes 1 file under Books also Playlists"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.2.3
Pros
Took Spanish lesson CDs that I had already burned to disk and in iTunes so loaded this into my first project. Everything was a simple drag from iTunes and drop into AudioBook Builder software.
Cons
My original 100 audio tracks ended up into a one file Playlist. How can I possibly keep track of where I am at or restart one of the 100 lessons when I must restart at the beginning in here. 20 minutes for trial version keeps me from more testing.
Summary
I don't know what this product is meant to produce since I only get one file under "Books" and the same one file under Playlists. The 20 minute free preview use is limiting what I can test.

"Bookmarking Software is the only way to go!!"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.1.2
Pros
Very easy and intuitive to use.
Cons
A little slow.
Summary
I listen to audiobooks while walking in the morning, and this sporadic listening makes bookmarking software for audiobooks a must. This software is great for those of us who can't remember our place by memorizing the time on the MP3 where we stopped.

"Incredibly useful!"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.0.11
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is by far the most useful piece of shareware I have ever downloaded for personal use (I couldn't live without Passenger at work). I tried the demo by putting together a 2-disc audio book in 19 minute chunks (the unregistered version has a 20 minute limit). It worked flawlessly, so I gladly paid the 10 dollars and began building usable files. I had many audio books that I had ripped from CD's and ended up with many files that were a pain to keep track of on my iPod. If you copy your audiobook cd's to your iPod, you MUST buy this. It will be the best 10 dollars you ever spend!! -
"Listen to audiobooks? Would you like to? This is a..."

A must for anyone with an iPod or iPhone looking to listen to audiobooks. Make making books from all sorts of sources easy for yourself!
My commutes to and from work are too short thanks to Audiobook Builder! -
"Great App, but some refinement would be nice ..."
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.0.10
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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. -
"Does What it Says!"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.0.10
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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. -
"A Real Winner"
Version: Audiobook Builder 1.0.10
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This program is excellent. I've used it to generate dozens of audiobooks from all sorts of sources: lectures, CDs, MP3s. When used with Audio Hijack Pro, you can capture material from nearly any audio souce: input from a cassette tape, websites, etc. It is flexible and easy to use. I'm lovinâ?? it. -

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It is a wonderful application that does exactly what it says it will do. I listen to books on my iPod and now I have a way to load books onto my iPod that may only be available as a CD. Thanks for a great application.
