Hello! I use a program called Chapter and Verse. This allows me to import the MP3 files and it asks me if I want to convert them to .ACC format. It then allows for the creation of chapters at intervals or wherever I tell it to. It then combines all the .ACC files, adds the chapters, and places the finished .M4B file in iTunes. All I have to do is hook up my phone, go to the books section, and check the box beside the new book and re-sync the iPhone.

I found a program called mp3 to ipod converter which turns all the mp3s into one m4b file. It played on itunes Mac but when i synced books it didn't appear in ibooks. Any ideas? I may just go back to the downcast solution but i would like to make this work as well. Thanks. Marc On Jul 9, 2012, at 3:02 AM, Raul A.

I think depending on your file names, perhaps this might be the reason for the trouble with ordering your files. Do you have them ordered a certain way? If ordering is a problem, you can always rename the files before importing them. > > Good luck. > > -- > Raul A. Gallegos > "I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me.

What are some recommendations for the best way to read this on the iphone? Is there a program for concatinating them into a single file? Should i create a m4b file so i can keep my place in the book? What are alternatives to itunes for listening to it? I have used downcast to import podcast mp3 files before, but it seems to mix the order of imported files. Any suggestions and experiences would be appreciated.
