Make Audiobooks

I am a big fan of audiobooks. I like to read, but struggle to find the time. With audiobooks I can listen while I am doing work around the house. I probably listen to two books a month that way. Most of my audiobooks come from audible, but I have ripped some from CDs, and downloaded some free ones. The ones that I rip and download have always been a pain to manage because they are usually multiple files and my iPod doesn’t recognize them as audiobooks.

I have tried editing them to combine them into one file, but that is kind of a pain in the ass. I have finally found an easy solution.

Doug over at dougsripts.com has an app called Join Together that does it all. It combines all the files into one, and marks it as an audiobook so iTunes and iPods handle it just like it was an Audible file. This solution is Mac only, but I am glad to finally have a solution.
