Welcome to AudioPie

AudioPie is a desktop application for creating M4B audiobooks from MP3 audio tracks with comprehensive chapter editing capabilities.

What is AudioPie?​

AudioPie is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that allows you to:

  • 🎵 Convert MP3 to M4B — Transform your collection of MP3 files into a single M4B audiobook
  • 📖 Edit Chapters — Create, rename, reorder, and merge chapters with drag & drop
  • 🎨 Manage Metadata — Edit book title, author, genre, description, and cover art
  • 💾 Save Projects — Save your work and continue later
  • 🌍 Multilingual — Available in English and Russian

Why M4B Format?​

The M4B format is the gold standard for audiobooks because it:

  • ✅ Supports chapter navigation
  • ✅ Remembers your playback position
  • ✅ Works with all major audiobook players (Apple Books, Audiobookshelf, etc.)
  • ✅ Provides better compression than MP3
  • ✅ Supports cover art and rich metadata
