Notes (First M4B)

[static_whisper]

I don’t expect this to be terribly interesting, but in the interest of keeping track of this podficcing process, I think I’m going to try AudioBookConverter to make M4B files out of MP3 files.

It’s for Windows, so the process will be 1) upload MP3 file from Audacity to Archive.org [which is already done on the Linux laptop], 2) download Archive.org MP3 file on the Windows laptop, and 3) use this program to get the M4B (without needing additional programs).

An Auralphonic episode mentioned Chapter and Verse, but I’m not aware of that being updated since sometime when I was in undergrad (2012 to 2016), so I went looking to see if anything else had been updated a little more recently than that. (It also involves downloading other programs, like iTunes, in order to work.) I think Audiobook Binder came up in being a recommended alternative, but it involves money. (I also wish these different programs didn’t all sound so alike in names.) As far as I can tell, AudioBookConverter doesn’t involve iTunes and doing an MP3 to AAC conversion first, so I should be able to directly convert the existing MP3 files into an M4B.
