Long Answer

If you listen to audiobooks, at some point you will find yourself with a collection of mp3 files, aac or audio CDs. The problem with these is they do not lend themselves for playback on devices such as ipad or iphone. These won’t “remember” the current playback position e.g. for mp3 files, if you pause a track then use your device to play something else, when you come back to the original track it will start playback right at the beginning. Very annoying. M4B specification audiobooks on the other hand will remember where you stopped and this information will survive even a device reboot! As for CDs…who listens to CDs nowdays? Rip it to mp3 or aac and use Audiobook Wizard to enter the modern age. Audiobook Wizard takes in any number of mp3 or aac audio files and basically joins them into one huge m4b audiobook file, complete with chapter markers so you can easily skip back and forth between chapters. Each file that you provided as input becomes one chapter point. It is iTunes friendly and will tag the file with metadata tags that iTunes understand e.g., title, artist, album and even cover artwork. Hooray!
