Audiobook Builder 2 4+

This program has been a sterling find after years of Apple downgrades to its iTunes/Music program making audiobook downloads harder. What used to be a frustrating 5 step process is condensed into 1 step with nice CD insertion reminders and chapter titles. This has been a wonderful find and I highly recommend it.

I have one small quibble. On just one very long download (Troubled Blood - Robert Galbraith 26 CDs) I inadvertantly skipped a CD. Now, Audiobook builder mostly idiot proofs this process but I managed to find a way to skip a CD because the download process was so long. The problem was that there was no way to preview a CD to find which one was missing. If the developers could find a way to improved this program, I would recommend adding a preview so that boneheads who happen to circumvent their nice controls can recover.

Ihave borrowed a loat of audiobooks from the local library over the years and added them to my computer so I could listen to them on my iPhone. Always used iTunes even though it often did not provide an easy method to save all the information I wanted to add to each book. Audiobook Builder gives me an easy way to put the tracks on my computer. As someone else said in their review, this just works! Easy to follow screens walk you through what is needed complete with a tutorial. Please exparess my appreciaation to the developers!

The app needs the ability to import .cue files for chapter breaks, or markers from other audio editors. This would enable us to add chapters without re-encoding.

The app needs more flexibility on what metadata you can add or omit. More like Subler, it should allow you to pick and choose which fields you want to add. For example, even if you're just outputting a single file, it will automatically tag the file with "track 1/1" which will cause Itunes to rename the file as "01 <book title>" in the author folder of Itunes media. This can make it hard to sort by file name in your Itunes media files, and isn't necessary unless you're outputting a split file.
