Hello
I have been searching on the forum but haven't found anything. Basicly what I'm looking for is a program that will input a M4B file and output several MP3 files (1 MP3 per chapter in the M4B file). I have been using Free M4B to MP3 Converter, but unfortunately, all it does is extract a single MP3 from the M4B. Anyone knows any other programs for this job? Thank you |

I ran into a couple of problems:
1) It was saying that the library and/or DLL was not a valid windows dll. The problem was I was using the supplied DLL, which is a 32-bit and I was using 64-bit python. Those don't mix, so I installed and used the 32-bit version of python and it worked great. So, if anyone has that problem, hopefully this will help them. 2) The other "problem" I have is not really a problem, but more of a request I guess. The script works well, however, when it extracts the chapters and names to mp3, I have no idea of what order they should have be in. Could there be an internal counter or something so that you would get something like "Chapter 1 - " prepended to the chapter title? Otherwise, the only way I see to figure out the order is to listen to each one and hope it starts with the chapter number... |

You should try sorting the mp3 files listing by time and date created; the oldest file should be the first chapter, no? Just seems like that would work for you, then a rename batch could append the chapter index to the filename. -------------------- Brian2090
