Audiobook Builder For Mac

If you have a bunch of old audiobooks stored on discs, or just simple audio files that need to be converted to a standard audiobook format, it can be tricky to figure out how to go about it.

Audiobook Builder was created to provide you with a simpler way to get this done. It allows you to import content from files or Audio CDs, organize them into chapters, and then export the audiobook so that it can be played on your Mac, iPhone, or any other Apple device.

If you have audio files stored locally, it’s a simple process of dropping them in the main window, in the Chapters tab. It’s also possible to add items directly from Apple Music, provided the tracks are available locally.

Should your audiobooks be on discs, and your Mac still has a disc drive, you’ll need to use the Import CD tool. This will add files one by one or as one track, and you’ll be asked to insert the next CD when necessary.

Not only can you give your audiobook custom cover art, but each chapter can have its own artwork. You can play around with the files you’ve imported, move them between chapters, or split them up as needed.

Even ignoring the extensive documentation, the process is very straightforward. Now, when it comes to audio quality settings, you’re probably better off sticking with the default values. But if you know what you’re doing, you can tweak those to your liking as well.

Given the limited lifespan of discs, it’s a good idea to start transferring content stored on audio CDs to a more permanent home. Audiobook Builder does a great job, and it also allows you to create audiobooks from any kind of files you may have stored on your Mac, making them easily playable on all your devices.
