Audiobooks on the iPod

January 21, 2006

I love listening to audio books on my iPod, but there were two things I was fighting with.

First, CDs I’d previosly ripped had a ton of individual tracks which are annoying. (ex. 384 tracks for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)

Second, I want the built-in bookmarkable ability. In other words, when I stop listening at a random place, I want it to pick up where I left off. I know it does it for some files it identifies as audiobooks, but how do I make it do this for ones I want to control. This part is merely the difference between an AAC with a .m4a and a .m4b extension. Though making a change like this to a pile of files could still be cumbersome.

You can solve both of these problems by grabbing a couple AppleScript’s - Join Together and Make Bookmarkable.

    As I have been consuming podcasts at a ravenous pace since last summer, I’ve always wanted the ability to throw in markers for significant thoughts so that I could come back to them later.

    How cool would it be to have a mechanism to throw in personal bookmarks throughout a ‘cast. Perhaps even to the point that if your MP3 player of choice had voice recording capability that you could have your own thoughts embedded within that podcast as a margin note.

    Yeah, that’s the ticket.

    that would be cool. keep in mind that you can do voice recording on your ipod if you switch it to Linux, doing the recording through your headphones. But, I want that to be tied to a bookmark in a podcast like you suggest.
