Also, my directory and file names use leading zeros where appropriate too. Note: My Track field and Disc field in the ID3 tags is always two digits, with a leading zero if needed. I can recreate those fields by parsing the Comment field down into its component parts. The reason I create this comment field is for the case where I accidentally make some mistake that hoses up one of more of the other fields. Obviously, before running the step to create the Comment field I have to first fill in all the other fields.

Meaning: Software parseable concatenation of all of the above tagsĮxample: Author: David Eddings Narrator: Cameron Beierle Series: The Belgariad series Book # in Series: 01 Title: Pawn of Prophecy Track # in Book: 01 Genre: Fantasy įWIW, here is the definition I use to create the "Comment" field in PuddleTag (PuddleTag supports this in it internal "Format" command):Īuthor: %artist% Narrator: %albumartist% Series: %album% Book # in Series: %discnumber% Title: %title% Track # in Book: %track% Genre: %genre% And I find an appropriate picture to use as cover.jpg (usually from Amazon or a Google search).Įxample: Fantasy (could be comma separated list if multiple genres, e.g., "Fantasy, Adventure")

Then I add the ZIP file shown above to Calibre (which in turns stores that in its own directory structure, separate from the above).īut before using Calibre, and before zipping the audio book up, I use the program PuddleTag or EasyTag or MP3Tag to create the following ID3 tags in each MP3 file. Pawn of Prophecy.zip (file, which contains:)īook 02 of The Belgariad series - Queen of Sorcery (directory)īook 01 of The Malloreon series - Guardians of the West (directory)īook 02 of The Malloreon series - King of the Murgos (directory) The payoff - it will be a lot easier to see what books I have, what I haven't listened to, series and to be listened to lists.īook 01 of The Belgariad series - Pawn of Prophecy (directory) So it's going to take me a certain amount of time to get everything in to my satisfaction, but once I get the initial load done, adding new audiobooks as I buy them won't take more than a few minutes since I typically buy in groups less than 10. Last, the narrator isn't included in the meta data.įortunately, the narrator is included in the iPad version of the Audible app, so I can type that information in over a period of time.

It's not horrible, it takes less than a minute to fix the info for each book, plus I can download the cover art. It seems to be based on when I downloaded them. Oddly, some books come through mostly correct while others are a little more mangled. The book name, author name and series info is all there, but it's repeated in the different fields, so I need to edit each book after I load them. Second, the metadata doesn't read in perfectly. I've been reading them in groups of about 10 or so at a time and it takes a good 5 minutes per group.
This time, I downloaded an older calibre plug in that is suppose to read the meta data from audible, and I loaded the mp3 files that had the DRM removed rather the original audible files. I had tried Calibre before, but I couldn't get it to read the metadata for my audible books. I use Calibre for ebooks, but one can have multiple libraries, so I created a new library for audiobooks.
#ZIPPED AUDIO BOOK PLAYERS ANDROID UPDATE#
iTunes has all the audiobooks, but it doesn't support series or narrators, plus one can not update certain info manually such as last played or if a book was listened to or not. However, it doesn't really solve my problem with keeping my some 700+ audiobooks organized. It works well enough in the car, I just have to remember to keep 4 or 5 audible books downloaded to my phone and I can easily pull up the next when a book finishes. The downside is that it only support's audbile books downloaded via the app from Audible to the device (i.e. I mostly use Audible's app at the moment and it works pretty well for me. The main reason is that I have been using iTunes to transfer audiobooks to my iPhone/iPad and I can put both Audible books as well as books from other sources (I've got about 30 or so from non audible sources such as the LOTR and Harry Potter audiobooks)Ī few months ago, I upgraded my car audio system to a new unit that included support for Apple's CarPlay which supports both Audible's app as well as Apple's Books app. My primary audiobook database has been iTunes.
This particular discussion has been mentioned in a couple other threads, but I thought that I would start a new thread since I couldn't find the others.
