Open the terminal and run ffmpeg to see whether it works. Copy the "ffmpeg" executable to /usr/local/bin.ĥ. In the window that appears, open "Resources."Ĥ.
Control-Click the FFmpegX package, and choose "Show Package Contents."ģ. Download FFmpegX DMG package online to your Mac.Ģ. Since FFmpegX works on Mac and it includes FFmpeg, we can just extract FFmpeg from FFmpegX package. Here, I'll show you how to use ffmpeg command line tool on Mac. However, it's too difficult for regular people.
Books was never designed to serve as a media player and, as such, lacks a lot of the functionality that was present in iTunes. You can compile FFmpeg with the open source files yourself, using your own compiling options. But, this is, sadly, probably the most convenient way to place AUDIO files into an app (and library) that is meant to play AUDIO files. So is there a method to run FFmpeg on Mac? Sure. Command line is usually more efficient the GUI. When I first upgraded to Catalina, of all the various changes, the shunting of my meticulously curated audiobook playlists into the virtually worthless Books app sent me into a fiery rage (from which my cats are still shaken).If you are familiar with FFmpeg command line tools, a graphic user interface may be helpless for you. By converting your audiobooks into MP3s, you've got a lot more versatility - you can organize them into playlists (which was what I have done), modify their information under the 'Get Info' right-click option (which allows you to change the volume output and EQ settings), and edit author/artist names to better organize your collection. You can then set OpenAudible to automatically convert your files to MP3s.which creates a THIRD file (this time, in MP3 format), which you then drag and drop into the Music app (creating a FOURTH file).Īfter doing this, you can, then, delete the original audiobook file (in the iBooks library), the second file in the OpenAudible library, and the third file (the MP3 conversion) in the OpenAudible MP3 folder, because Music will automatically create a copy in its library.īut, this is, sadly, probably the most convenient way to place AUDIO files into an app (and library) that is meant to play AUDIO files.īooks was never designed to serve as a media player and, as such, lacks a lot of the functionality that was present in iTunes.
When you do this, however, it creates a duplicate of your original audiobook formatted file in the OpenAudible folder, which temporarily takes up space. OpenAudible takes a second to figure out, and honestly, it's easier to drag and drop your audiobook files straight into it, rather than attempting to connect your Audible account. So - the way I got around this was by converting my audiobooks into MP3s (using OpenAudible) and then, transferring (through dragging and dropping) them into the Music Mac app.
