I need a mac app to convert mp3 to mb4 so they show up in audiobooks in itunes

yes, but not recommended. Having a large single file will drain your battery because it can't cache it into memory. You can combine a few of them so you have fewer files but I'd strongly suggest not doing one large file.Thanks for the reply. One more question. Since audiobooks(at least the ones I have) come in a ton of parts, is it possible to combine all the parts of an audiobook into a single file?
as far as I know all it has to be is an AAC file with the M4b extension...
so just convert the mp3 in question to an AAC using itunes and then rename the file
Is there an app to batch rename? Perhaps something I can do through automator? I have thousands of files.
Yes, automator would be the easiest...it'd actually be quite easy.Is there an app to batch rename? Perhaps something I can do through automator? I have thousands of files.

I just came across this: http://audiobookmaker.sourceforge.net/
I haven't used it but it looks like what you want.

Yes, it looks to be exactly what I want. And I downloaded it today. Converted a bunch of MP3's too. Now if I could only figure out where the program put the files. Even spotlight can't find them.

It threw it on my desktop.

I've ran the app three times with different files. It's not saving the files anywhere that I can tell.
I tried having itunes convert these MP3's to AAC's but it errors out every time.
Don't do it just for aesthetics! Just makes your lives more difficult, I have a genre for the different audiobooks [e.g. "Books & Spoken (Novels)"]. Select all the audiobook genres, right click and you can set the same settings as audiobooks (skip & remember position)...

Audiobook Builder by Splasm software works very well. It combines the MP3 files then converts them to the proper format for bookmarking. It wont make the files too big unless you overide the settings to do so. I have done about twenty books and had no problems. The cost is about $15 as I recall. Hope this helps.
