Audible.com-Search-by-Album VS AudioBookConverter

Seanap's plugin for MP3Tag is one that some use to tag their audiobooks for use in Plex.

You don't have to rename the file itself if you don't want to. I just went through a very large audiobook library (over 1,000 audiobooks) to retag the audiobook metadata using the Seanap (https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album) MP3tag plugin. I just tagged the file data but didn't change the file name using the Tag-Filename button.

Personally I have a rather large audiobook library in Plex. I've used MP3Tag to properly tag each MP3 file when I've ripped it. Currently use this audiobook scrapper (https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album) in MP3Tag which helps with the tagging process. There are likely better ways to deal with audiobooks, for my needs it's working OK for now until something better comes along or Plex adds official audiobook support.

For audiobook tagging, you can always look at this: https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album

Audiobookconverter can combine multiple mp3s into a single mp4

Audiobook Converter - Takes anything not an M4B and makes it an M4B (and can add some basic metadata to an M4B). For Plex, I've found it useful to have one file for playback vs. all the mp3 files (plus it's a lot cleaner)

I also had this issue with Audiobookbinder and switched to AudiobookConverter for longer book bindings

However, I only went through the trouble because I didn't want audio quality to be affected at all (nothing to be encoded again, only removed). If you are not too concerned about audio quality, there is definitely programs out there on Mac that can chapterize files. M4btool is pretty powerful and there is Audiobook converter. I've heard AudioBookBinder might work as well, though I think it is older at this point.

some audiobooks come in multiple mp3 so i merge a books tracks all into one file to save the headache of adding meta data to sometimes 100s of files for one book. I use https://github.com/yermak/AudioBookConverter to merge mp3s into m4b which I've seen being a standard for audiobook file format but mp3 will also work if you like that extension.

Yermak's AudioBookConverter is phenomenal. Development is on hiatus due to the war in Ukraine, but the most recent version is still available on Github.
