Import an audio book to an MP3 player?

[carver6041]

I ripped the chapters of an audiobook to my computer. It is now saved in five folder, each of which has ten or more files in it.

SWhat do I have to do to get those wma files into a useable book ona mp3 player (Phillips GoGear Connect 8GB?

That player should play wma files, just copy them and play them. If you want to stitch the files together into one file, MS Movie Maker will join them together or http://www.free-mp3-joiner.com/how_to_use_join_wma_files.html

Have not tried to use either one of those to do this myself though.

Hi Hang-the-9,

Thank you for responding. I assumed that these wma files had to be stitched together in order to play as a book. I'll try Windows Movie Maker 6.0 to do that. I use that program quite a bit but until now only for making movies, not for making an audio disc. Thanks for that suggestions.

P.S. -- I did not receive an email notifying me that you had responded to my question. Is that normal or should I be concerned that something might not be set up properly in my account?

Hi,

I have not had any luck at all trying to get the chapters I ripped from an audio book burned to a DVD. I want the chapters that are on my desktop PC on a disc so I can get them on to my wife's laptop. The chapters are in wma format. I downloaded and installed Free mp3-Joiner. After I import all of the chapters into Free mp3-joiner I am supposed to click on "Export," but that link does not open. Nothing happens when I click on "Export" so I cannot select any settings. I emailed Free mp3 joiner Support, but have not head from them yet.

In Windows Movie Maker 6.0 I have to import the individual files of each chapter, one chapter at a time, make a Movie Maker Project of that chapter, then publish that project as a Movie Maker Movie and save it as a "high quality audio file" before going on to do the same with each chapter in turn.

Any suggestions about the Free mp3-Joiner problem? Or, is there a better way to get these wma files from my desktop to my wife's laptop?

Try a different audio file joiner maybe. Or use a different option to copy the audio book. You can just play the sound files in a playlist also as they are, just select a bunch of files and create a playlist, will play one after the other.

Duh -- How do I create a play list? I really have never had reason to do that. What program shouuld I use?

 

[hang-the-9]

Any media player will have a playlist option. WMP, VLC Media player, etc..
