m4b-merge

Functionality

The steps accomplished by using this tool are as follows:

Easy batch inputs via -i folder1/ folder2/* file.mp3 etc.
Only user input required is one ASIN per book.
Converts mp3(s) into single m4b files
- Matches existing bitrate and samplerate for target file.
- Standardizes chapter names, like 'Chapter 1'.
Merges or edits m4a/m4b into single m4b file, without re-converting.
Moves input file/folder to done folder when processed.

Audible data features:

Title, author(s), narrator(s), series, release year, description
- For generating folder structure
- For seeding M4b metadata fields
Chapters (title and length) used for m4b/m4a inputs.

On first run, you will be prompted to signin to Audible. This is a one-time process that will be saved to your system's relevant config folder, under m4b-merge.

Module usage

If you are a developer wanting to use this in a project, you can import the modules as so: from m4b_merge import audible_helper, config, helpers, m4b_helper

And then creating the objects you need (from audible_helper.BookData(asin) and m4b_helper.M4bMerge(input_data, metadata)) You can see more usage examples in the sister project, Bragi Books
