Convert m4b file to mp3
« on: January 27, 2007, 05:25:43 pm »

Is there a way to take m4b files and convert them to mp3?    These files are audiobooks.  I can't sync them with my iPod using MC.   I tried to convert them to MP3 files using iTunes, but iTunes won't convert them.

I'm not sure why you can't sync m4b files as I haven't had a problem in the past. I haven't done it in awhile in MC so maybe something changed, but you should be able to sync them with iTunes. Since they're audiobooks, and that's all I listen to on the road, you'll want the bookmarking feature that m4b files give you. If you really want to convert them to MP3 though, I just did a web search and there are programs like JHymn that will do it.

I can sync them with iTunes.  I would rather sync them with MC which is not working for me right now.

I was hoping for a trick to convert them to MP3 files, but I don't have an issue using software to do the conversion.  I'll look at JHymn as an option.

Thanks...

Conversion of m4b in MC is not possible as the type is routed to Quicktime engine.
