Converting an MP3 to audio book format - How???

Friends,
I have long recordings of classes that I want to review on my iPod. Is there a way that I can save these as an audio book so that I can save my place between listenings?
Thank you!!

Just import into a logic session. Then bounce at the specs you require. Logic or Waveburner, iTunes and even Quicktime I think can each do this easily.
A question though. I am assuming you are converting an MP3 to 44.1/16 bit just so you can play the file in a consumer quality CD player?? IF so - that makes sense.
But if you are doing this because you think it will improve the sound quality of your MP3, I will save you some time here. It won't improve the sound quality at all. It will just turn the MP3 into a larger audio file.
44.1/16 bit resolution enables you to have a much better sounding file than MP3 formats, but not by going at it this way.
No offense to you if you know all of this already. I am assuming that you may not know this - because if you did you would also likely know how to convert an audio file.
Cheers
Darrell

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • I was listening to Audio Books on my iPod Touch in the car when the speed changed to fast forward on all the audio books. How do I correct this?

    I was listening to Audio Books on my iPod Touch while on a motor trip when the speed of the playback suddenly changed to fast forward for all the stored audio books. How can I correct this?

    Actually found this answer in the archives: When the audio book is playing, hold finger on middle of screen until the speed selection message appears and change from 2x to 1x. Thanks for your response though!

  • I am uploading a audio book. How do I get them to post in order in my library?

    I have an audio book that has over 30 cd's to the set.  My first problem is that even though I loaded them to my libary in order they did not post that way.  How can I get them to sort so that all of my cd's are in order for this book?  I figure that I have to correct it in my Itunes library before synciing it to my I-pod.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Generally a bad move to post your email address directly on any forums. Spammer's robots will pick them up to send you unwanted emails. I asked a host to edit out the link.

  • I had to replace my iPhone so when I got my new o e and retorted it not all my data transferred, I am still missing my audio books. How do I get them back?

    I have tried restoring purchases and looking to download it from the iCloud and iTunes but I can't find my audiobooks.

    Hi there,
    If you backed up to iCloud, you may want to review the article below.
    iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
    The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
    Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
    Podcasts and audio books
    Photos that were originally synced from your computer
    Hope that helps,

  • Looking for iBooks audio books? How to find?

    I need help with audio books .I heard my ipad2 will play them but when I go to iBooks I only see books?

    It's not actually in the ibooks app.  As Deggie said, you can download audible books from apple through the itunes store, or from someone like audible (amazon).

  • HT201272 I updated my iPhone and iPad and lost my audio books. How do I get them back

    How do I get my purchases back.

    They will only be where you put them.  You get one download of audiobooks.  As always it is your responsiblity to back up your content.
    Certainly you did not update before making sure that you had trnsferred all purchases to your computer.

  • HT203433 Can I convert a single track audio book into multiple chapters?

    This is more for my 6 year old son, we have on CD Thomas the Tank Engine story CDs, which imported as individual songs/chapters, so they can be shuffled.  I recently purchased another Thomas story CD from itunes assuming it would download in the same way, but it was an audiobook.  It does not show different chapters, they are all lumped together in on single file.  I have gone through and made a note of the timings where the 12 stories start and stop, so is there any way that I can separate them into 12 separate files under one album?

    Hello,
    Also, I understand that I can always "place" (i.e. drag and drop) the image requiring processing into the Photoshop document containing the adjustment layers, saving a merged copy as jpeg, and repeat... but such a manual method would border on insulting to this prowess of a program.
    If anyone can get creative and suggest a method of recording an action that can make use of the document with the adjustment layers and a variable document that will be passed through during the batch process, I'm all eyes!
    You have the other choice with drag/drop or duplicate where you copy the adjustment layers into the other image document.  Target all the adjustment layers in the layer palette click on the first one the Ctrl|CMD+click on the others or if adjacent Shift+click on the last one to target all the adjustment layer then use menu Layer>Duplicate Layers...  and use the pull down menu in the pop-up dialog to choose the other open image document.
    You can of course record an action when you add all the adjustment layers then play that action on the other images. Twenty adjustment layer on top of an image seems a bit extreme to me.

  • How do I convert an audio CD format album in my library into MP3

    Here's my problem. I have two vehicles. The older vehicle only plays audio CDs and the newer vehicle will play MP3 songs. So I want to burn two CDs, an audio and an MP3.
    I imported my original CDs into iTunes and kept them in the original format, not as MP3. I then burned an audio CD and it plays correctly. Now I want to burn an MP3 CD but got an error that iTunes cannot burn the MP3 CD as the original songs are not in MP3 format. I don't know how to convert these songs to MP3 and in all the help info I have read there is nothing about this.
    I really don't want to delete these songs from the library and re-import them as MP3. that's a lot of music and time.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks, George

    You can use iTunes to convert the songs from your CDs to another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. You can get details on these pages:

  • How to play next audio book file/chapter?

    Trying to setup an ipad2 for my mother and load some of her audio books on it.  The audio books are mostly in mp3 format with some being in m4a.  Books are marked as audio book format.
    Problem is that when placed on the ipad and accessed by going through music -> more -> audio books, the books appear, selecting one shows all files/parts of the book, but when playing, it does not advance to next file.  Particular problem in which some books are split into 3 minute chunks per file.
    Taking the same files and placing them on my ipod 5.5, they play fine and auto-advance fine.
    Any ideas?

    iOs 5 Bug identified...
    After selecting an audio book, if you select a file/chapter directly, it will play only that file/chapter and NOT continue to the next one. Also, no icon (speaker) is shown for the files/chapter being played.
    If instead you press the play button at top left (not main focus on screen), then the book starts playing from beginning, an icon is present next to file/chapter, and the files/chapter are played sequentially automatically.
