Convert M4B to a playable format?

I have never been happy to have iTunes installed on my computer.  I do not like it’s system footprint.

So without itunes, you can still easily convert.  And there is no option to pay for this software, so I’m not selling a thing.

  1. Download VideoLan Client.  You can search for “videolan client” or “VLC” on google

  2. Start VLC and choose “Media / Convert / Save” from the menu bar, or press Ctrl-R

  3. Select the file using the “Add” button, then press “convert/save”

  4. Create a new profile, call it “Sansa”. The “new profile” button is next to the deletion cross.

  5. In “Encapsulation” tab select Ogg/Ogm

  6. In “Audio Codec” tab turn “Audio” on, select codec “Vorbis”, and change sample rate to 22050Hz

  7. Press save

  8. Copy the book name into the “destination file” box and press “Start”
