I want to take a folder full of mp3's, and merge it into an audiobook-file (for Ipod, don't remember the file format) with chapters for each file.

Is there a tool that will do this?

    Tried that but it doesn't seem to mark chapters.

Here's how I've done it in my Mac ...

Placed all my *.mp3 files to a folder, and open Terminal to that folder .. making sure my mp3 files are in correct sequence audio1.mp3 audio2.mp3 and so on ...

cat *.mp3 > Bookname.mp3

Then I went to Itune and added that big MP3 file to my Library (Add to Library :))

When the Bookname.mp3 shows up under my Music, I right click on it, Get Info, Option and change the Music type to "AudioBook" type ...

That's it ..

    This does not create chapters.

Audiobook Maker is free and open source for Mac.

I recommended Audiobook Builder for this question, and I'll do it again here. It costs 10USD, but is definitely worth it if you'll be creating more than a few audiobooks.

I just did this in Windows using Audiobook Creator. It appears to be free, but not open-source. Setup is a little wonky, but it works fine after that.
