Developer’s Description

By Splasm Software

Move audiobooks to your iPod, iPhone or iPad, join audio files.

Audiobook Builder makes it easy to turn your audio CDs and files into audiobooks for your iPhone, iPod or iPad. Join audio, create enhanced chapter stops, adjust quality settings and let Audiobook Builder handle the rest. When it finishes you get one or a few audiobook tracks in iTunes instead of hundreds or even thousands of music tracks. Give your audiobooks that special touch by grouping audio files into chapters with custom names and artwork. iPod and iTunes give you controls to move quickly between chapters while playing your audiobooks. Get started with Audiobook Builder's built-in quality presets or customize the audio settings to your personal taste. Drag & drop straight from iTunes to Audiobook Builder and build directly to the Books section in iTunes.

Pros
Low Price Super easy interface Small size 3.6 mb Mac compatible
Cons
Doesn't work with windows
Summary
Skip the free trial. The size of the final productis limited in the free trial This software is Mac ONLY I've made 5 audiobooks in 2 hours. And that's while I'm sitting at work doing many other things. I havent' had any problems yet. The software really does all the work and the interface is SUPER easy to work with. I can drag and drop all the files in an audiobook in one step without any difficulty. I just used the software to build 'Ender's Game'. I was working with 67 separate tracks. I consolidated them into one track, M4B (itunes), with bookmarking and shuffle skip all with ONE button click. This is how easy it is: 1. open software 2. click new project 3. enter title of book and author if you wish 4. on same screen drag and drop artwork if you wish. (google is your friend) click next 5. drag and drop audio tracks to this screen 6. OPTIONAL: click the zipper button (get it? cute right?) to join all the tracks and create one track. really nice because it's bookmarked so you will not lose your place. click next 7. click create audiobook 8.you'll get a screen telling you where your book will go. it will also automatically put it in itunes. click ok 9. the software will do it's thing while you keep busy with something else. 10. DING! you have an audiobook and it's optimized for itunes. Rinse, repeat
exactly what i was looking for

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

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
Summary
100 files becomes 1 file under Books also Playlists
Bold_SueOctober 28, 2010
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!!

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. Recommended.
Incredibly useful!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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!!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.
