====== Manipulating Audio Files ====== ===== Join Audio Files ===== You may end up hundreds of MP3 files when ripping CD. Use **OpenAudible** to join MP3 files into one file for each chapter or one for each disk. OpenAudible can also be used to convert audio books into MP3 format. ===== MP3 Tag ===== Use **Mp3tag** to edit "Title", "Artist", "Album" but most importantly the "Track" information. The easiest way is to use "Tools->Auto-numbering Wizard". Optionally, you can rename the file to be more informative using "Convert->Tag - Filename" with format string such as "Disk$num(%track%,2) %title%". Furthermore, you can batch change any tag using "Convert->Filename - Tag" to make the tag (e.g. Title) more informative. ===== Download Audiobooks from Libby ===== - Go to libbyapp.com (use Chrome browser as example) - Open developer's tab (by pressing F12) and go to the "Network" tab - Open the audiobook and click "TABLE OF CONTENTS" - Click each chapter from the beginning to the end - Find the lines with "Status 206, Type media" (see screen capture below, tip: click the "Media" filter to reduce cluster). Right click the line and choose "Open in new tab" - Click the three dots and "Download". Note: only need to download the files with the same name once (each file may contain multiple chapters). {{:knowledge_base:audio_video:audio_book:pasted_20230225_125014.png}}
