Chapterized Audiobooks
https://github.com/yermak/AudioBookConverter Apparantly this is a good program to use. You should be able to convert them to a single m4b file and it should keep all the chapters intact.

Need advice about MP3 vs M4B and chapters

New to Audiobookshelf - Organizing series with multiple subfolders
Audiobookconverter can combine multiple mp3s into a single mp4

My audiobooks collection. I saw a similar post from another user and I thought about sharing mine.
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)

Question on binding long audiobooks (Mac)
I also had this issue with Audiobookbinder and switched to AudiobookConverter for longer book bindings

Advice on Complex Audiobook
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.

Any way to organise audiobooks?
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.

Audiobook editor for creating chapters
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.

Adding Audiobooks and Old Time Radio Shows to Plex
Here is a resource that you will find useful for audiobooks. I love your old-time radio idea, I look forward to hearing what people suggest for that because I am totally stealing your idea lol.

Tagging Conventions
I'd probably just bite the bullet and update the tags on everything. I've always just adhered to /u/seanap and followed their guide: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
Prologue for iOS is a Plex audiobook player that is better than any audiobook player has a right to be.
Here's a good guide on how to set up Plex for proper metadata with audiobooks: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide
- Plex needs an audio book style library
- Links to tutorials on how to clean up my library? (Just installed "scanned and matched" folder... it is a total mess still!)

Calibre for audiobooks
Depending exactly what you're trying to do mp3tag is a great tool for just managing metadata directly. The Plex Audiobook Guide has some handy tools for mp3tag that allow you to download info directly from audible.

has anyone done the big move from Spotify or other to Plex?
This is the way: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

There's a whole guide to getting it properly set up here.

For those of you listening to the Audiobook version of Secret Project #1, which way did you choose? I have an Android phone, so Speechify is out. I don't currently use Spotify, so I'm leaning towards loading the MP3's on my phone, but which app (Android) is good for Audiobooks given in this format?
Just to throw this out there though for anyone who might be interested in self-hosting their secret project audiobooks and others, to look at Audiobook Shelf. /r/audiobookshelf (what i'm doing) or set up plex to handle audiobooks (as best as it can) and use one of the players listed on that site, probably Chronicle on Android or Prologue for iOS.
