Mmh perhaps a nice idea to extend m4b-tool to split it into fixed length chunks. Should be not too complex :-) I personally use iTunes with a good old ipod nano, but all Apple products support this type of file. But there are also many good Android apps, that support m4b. Even VLC supports chapters :-) I think the advantages are: - Smaller files than mp3 / better Quality per bitrate - Mp4 / m4a/ m4b is a more versatile format (more tags, chapter, a cover per chapter, etc.) Disadvantages: - Less common (less hardware player support - e.g. car audio) - Less software players support it But for my needs it is way better than having a bunch of mp3 files... Different strokes for different folks ;)
