thank you I've been playing around with this idea today. Is there a reason that you use M4a instead of converting to something like mp3? Does m4a preserve the chapters or something? Also why do you use m4a instead of m4b?
- captn3m0 4y ago* m4a because it doesn't need a re-encode. * it does preserve chapters and metadata, but audible doesn't do a good job of using them, except for chapter timestamps and even they are dicey often using m4a and splitting into separate files has some advantages * I can download and share single chapters, helpful for sending single chapters to friends. This is also way better for large books over slow internet connections. * songs are indexed better in my media server (Emby, Navidrome) m4b feels better for archival (1 file = 1 book), but I've found splitting into several files a better option for actual listening.

- ycombinete 4y agoDo you have another script for separating out the chapters?
- captn3m0 4y agoI have 3, listed here: https://github.com/captn3m0/scripts https://github.com/captn3m0/scripts * split-audio-by-chapters (Based on metadata inside the AAX file) * split-by-audible (If audible doesn't provide splits in the m4a, but chapters are marked in the web/mobile player - you can copy the chapter listing and use this). See source for format. * split-by-silence (In some cases audible doesn't provide any chapters at all, and this is my last-ditch effort).
