Adding chapters/bookmarks to audiobooks

Hi,

How do I add chapters and bookmark my audiobook? Right now, its one huge file of 10 hours long. I want to break it up into chapters, so its easier to navigate. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Try this program if it's mp3--(it's freeware program called Xmp3split)

It will allow you to split the file into smaller pieces/tracks. You can then use this program to join them back together giving them chapter marks (it's a $10 shareware program called iTunesJoin):

I'm sure that someone else probably knows of a much simpler way of doing this, but this would be one possibility.

Easy.....go to Doug's Scripts:

You want "Make Bookmarkable". It is the #1 script on the web site. While there, load up on the other twenty or more scripts to make your iTunes life a tad easier. This link shows what is available, click on the topic of interest:

I have maybe 60 scripts for iTunes, I use at least 10 of them a day. Every now and then I do donate to the site, something to consider if you are a happy camper post-Doug.

Cheers, SZ.

I have the latest version of Bookmarkable, 2.1, it was updated last in Sept. 06. One thing I don't understand is why when I look on Options, under the Info. window the "remember position" option is grey. This is the same for all audiobooks, the ones downloaded from Audible.com as well as the ones I copy from CDs.

There is definitely an issue re: bookmarking in the two last versions of iTunes.
