Hi,
I have developed a technique that works with some success. I rip the CDs using EZ_DAX (ezcddadax.exe) which is the best ripper I’ve found so far. Originally it was called Free CD_DA extractor but now the author wants a bit of money
(not much tho). I organize my library as <audiobooks>/<author>/<bookname>/<Disk ID>/<track id>. For disc name I use
D01, …,Dnn. ez_cd-da gives some choice in track name but I use “num”. I rip the tracks into wave (.wav), then convert them into .MP3 (24 kbs) for form and size, using Music Match Jukbox. Voice doesn’t need 160 kbs to sound good on a Sansa Clip.
I then use Visual MP3 splitter & Joiner to combine the tracks into disk sized MP3 files. A couple of times I have combined these into full audio books. Its almost a 700 mile drive to visit My oldest son’s place. Audio books are a great way to ward off the drowseys.
