Yay! You finished!

Would you also like a podbook version with chapter breaks, or are you happy with what you have?

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

Ooh, chapter breaks would be brilliant! ^__^ It's the only thing I couldn't work out how to do.

[cybel]

On a PC you can so it with Chapter and Verse, so I understand. On my Mac I use Audiobook Builder. I'll whip it up and send you the link, okay?

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll look up Chapter and Verse, hopefully use it for Part Two (far in the future). I really only realised I couldn't do it with the software I had after I'd converted the 13+ hours into m4b, and I just couldn't face the thought of searching for something that could and converting it all again.

[cybel]

No problem! My software is brilliant and does it automatically from the mp3s in no time. Of course, the upload will take a while...

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the biggest problem. Whenever I finish recording something, I think "Oh, I'm so excited to get this posted!" *waits an hour for the thing to upload*

[cybel]

Yeah, delayed gratification sucks!

BTW, who gets credit for the art?

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

The artist is cedarcliffe. He's pretty awesome. ^__^

Are you using the cover page (http://cedarcliffe.livejournal.com/15167.html) image? (I know a lot of the chapters I've uploaded have had different pictures).

[cybel]

Yes, I figured that was the one you were using.

Give it about 2 1/2 hours to upload.

Thanks so much! Wow, that was really quick. Must remember to add this to the masterlist now.

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

I've just started listening to it, and the chapters don't seem to be in order - what's marked as the prologue is actually Chapter Eight, for instance, followed by Chapter Eleven, then Chaper Five. :(

[cybel]

The chaptered version that is uploading now should correct the problem as it was compiled separately from the mp3s as they were posted.

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

Oh good. ^__^ The chapters had just arranged themselves into alphabetical order in the first version, probably due to my OCD tendency to write out numbers in full.

[cybel]

That numbering thing really messes with any kind of compilation; I run into it all the time when making podbooks. :-(

My solution is usually to add a numeral to the beginning of each file in a separate compilation folder. In your case, I just added each file to an audiobooker file as you posted. Once one is added, it stays in order no matter what the title.
