AudioBookMaker

AudioBookMaker is a command-line tool for converting a collection of MP3 files into a single M4B audiobook file. This tool is written in Python and uses FFmpeg for audio conversion and the Mutagen library for handling metadata.

Installation

1. Install Python 3.11 or later.
2. Install FFmpeg. Ensure that the ffmpeg executable is in your system's PATH.
3. Clone or download this repository.
4. Install the required Python packages with pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run main.py with the following arguments:

• input_directory: The path to the directory containing the MP3 files you want to convert.
• output_file_path: The path to the output M4B file, including the desired filename.
• pattern (optional): A filename pattern to match specific MP3 files within the input directory.

Example:

python main.py "C:\Users\YourUsername\Downloads\MyAudiobook" "C:\Users\YourUsername\Audiobooks\MyAudiobook.m4b" "*.mp3"

This command will read all MP3 files from the MyAudiobook directory, convert and merge them into a single M4B file named MyAudiobook.m4b in the Audiobooks directory.
