Divide By Zero - a blog by Kamran Ayub

I just discovered this feature. If you want to import a CD that is an Audiobook, like I bought Stephen Colbert’s “I Am America and So Can You,� you can easily do so using iTunes.

If you ever have tried importing an audiobook, you know there’s many tracks. iTunes has a neat feature that can join them all together and import them as one track per CD. Useful!

1. Insert CD.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Right-click CD and select “Get Info�
4. Fill in the proper information. I suggest naming the CD “Disc 1� and so on so that you won’t overwrite any existing discs. Later you can make them all one album.
5. Select all the tracks on the CD, by hitting Ctrl-A (Apple-A).
6. Go to Advanced and select Join CD Tracks.
7. All done! Hit Import CD on the bottom right to import the joined track. Change ID3 tags as you see fit. I suggest importing at 96kbps or lower because it’s spoken and doesn’t need higher quality, unless you don’t care about size.

Note: It’s a good idea once you’re done to edit all the tracks and check the option to remember position. That way when you stop one it will resume where you left off!
