MarkAble 2 Released!

I'm excited to announce the release of a major new version MarkAble, version 2.

It has been rewritten from scratch, and I think I can immodestly say that it is a huge improvement.

Some features:

  • Much faster, as it no longer needs to convert to MP3 first
  • By default converts direct to AAC format (m4b files)
    (note however that MP3 audiobooks are still supported if you prefer)
  • Merges AAC files directly
  • More reliable (I hope!)
  • Embeds chapter stops at file/track boundaries or at regular intervals
  • Embeds image and sets iTunes artwork/thumbnail.
  • Optionally sets iTunes encoder bit rate for you and restores previous settings on exit.
  • Much nicer and easier to use interface.

Personally, I think it's magic!
