Well, personally I think audiobook builder covers everything for the
type of application it is. Other than providing an alternative for the
sake of competition, which can never be bad, I don't see much of a
point in having another program that does exactly the same thing.
Here's an idea though, and I'd be happy to help work on this one--or
start it once I'm sufficiently familiar with Cocoa. How about a text
to iPod book converter? This would allow taking a text file and
converting it to an iPod audiobook using your system's voice, with the
ability to put chapter marks in at certain points either at a certain
character string or a time interval. This is going to be a first
project for me unless someone already starts one--I'm very familiar
with programming but not with some of the Cocoa APIs which is what I'm
learning now.

Hi,
I am working on an alternative to Audiobook Builder, called IPod
Companion, and many of you may know it from its old SourceForge name
of Audiobook Maker. I obtained this poject and am looking for
developers, including those that have worked with Voiceover.
Thanks for listenin,

Eric, first you can locate the option under the iTunes menu bar,
just VO-m for the menu and arrow right to iTunes and arrow down to
Provide iTunes Feedback. I don't fully understand the entire
cataloging process, but it sounds as though you have a system that
is considerably extensive and not always online and so iTunes may
not have all the functionality you require. As far as managing a
music collection, works great here, all my files end up in this
lovely tree structure which I like so very much. I am a tree
structure freak for sure.
As far as importing a CD, I have to admit I'm not so sure why the
settings aren't holding and you could possibly delete the plist
associated with iTunes, but that seems extreme. I can say for the
most part the audio book feature works well, but I did get a $10
app called Audiobook Builder which seems to help in the process.
Syncing via iTunes to the iPod works very well indeed and so
overall iTunes fits my needs well. I can understand of course you
have a unique situation and so you need to use what works best for
you.
