Audiobook Builder 2.1.1

Fixed in 2.1.1

• Prevents a crash when your Part Style is Per Chapter and a Chapter is longer than the maximum Part length.
• On macOS Catalina and later, increases the default delay between launching Books and actually adding your audiobooks to Books, so Books won't play the audiobook automatically. Larger Books libraries will probably require more of a delay. Reach out to support@splasm.com for help with that.
• No longer over-shrinks artwork when adding Music or iTunes tracks when the original artwork was saved at more than 72 DPI.
• Now preserves metadata when adding VBR MP3 files that lack a duration value.
• The Save menu item is now disabled after you save your work.
• Nixes a crash that could occur when part of an audio file can’t be read while an audiobook is building.
• Includes minor user interface fixes and enhancements.

New in 2.1

• Brings compatibility enhancements for macOS 10.15 Catalina's Music, and Books. Look in Audiobook Builder’s preferences for new settings to automatically add your audiobooks to Books or Music.
