Guides. Create Bookmarking Files (Mac&PC), Cassette Tape, LP & CD(PC)

Good to know the guides work. I have once had the echo problem and wondered if it were mono versus stereo. Try stereo to see if it eliminates. I had thought the mono bug was fixed, but some problems appear to remain. So, stereo probably best for that reason as well.

Edit 3-06: An echo has been reported when playing some m4b files at slower speed (accidentally, at that). Click on iPod center wheel until you see Speed and Normal/Faster/Slow and rotate click wheel until you see normal instead of Slow.

No idea, then. Perhaps it is a particular CD. I have had the problem only on one audio book. Are you playing at faster speed?

ive tried this guide but there is no aac option in my itunes. i have itunes 4.7.1 any ideas why? i tried converting using nero but it just creates an mp4. i used wmp, and saved the .mp3 as an m4a, but itunes wont add it to library.

Have you tried going into Edit/Preferences/Importing and change the "Import Using" setting to "AAC encoder"?

Since you already have an mp4 file, I think that you could rename it m4b, add it to iTunes, and that it would work.

The easiest is to use Markable which will take care of all the conversions (whether you have iTunes importing set to mp3 or AAC), rename the files, insert the new files in iTunes, and remove all the extraneous files for you. Well worth the $15. Try it free for five days and see if you don't agree.

ive just reinstalled itunes, and the aac option appeared. i tried renaming to m4b, but itunes wouldnt play it. ive tried markable and its great.

ihave a books & spoken file saved as .mp3 file. i wonder y it doesnt go to audiobooks category when i transfer.

[robert]

Gotta be m4b or aa file. See guides in signature below on how to convert. Conversion will also make the file bookmarkable.

[tetbautista]

yes ive tried both extensions by renaming it and it doesnt work.
is there a program to convert it?

[robert]

Try reading the guides instead of just renaming. You have to make a conversion. Try Guide 1, but since you appear to be a beginner, Recommend EZ Guide and MarkAble.

[tetbautista]

i think that's for PC users... anyway, thanks for ur help.

[robert]

OK, try Guide 1. It is adaptable for mac. You will have to convert from mp3 to AAC then rename. Guide 1 has step by step instructions for how to use iTunes to do so. Good luck.

thanks robert!

i give up! it doesnt work. tried mp3 convert to aac using itunes then it becomes .m4a then changed to .m4b. sigh*
