Converting Audio Files to Audio Books for the iPod
Posted by Motoma
Back when I first bought my iPod, I needed a way to convert my Audiobook MP3s to M4Bs, the format iPods recognize as Audiobooks. I used ffmpeg (http://ffmpeg.org) to accomplish this task.
How To convert MP3 files to iPod Audiobook (M4B) files:
First, encode the audio using AAC: $ ffmpeg -i greeting_essare_and_avere.mp3 -acodec aac greetings_essare_and_avare.m4a
Then, rename the file with an m4b extension: $ mv greetings_essare_and_avare.m4a greetings_essare_and_avare.m4b
Yes, it is just that simple.
Hope this helps,
Motoma
