    Linux Mint and M4Baker... M4B books are too short, not all MP3's are used.

    Hello everyone,

    My apologies if this is the wrong location for this.

    I've installed M4Baker from this tut from @crabman: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....&highlight=m4b

    I've successfully installed M4Baker and it's dependencies. I have three MP3's, each ~420 MB in size, that make up an entire book.

    I load the three files into the app, add all the data like the title, author, ect. and click Process All!

    The program begins to create the M4B file.

    After only a few minutes... it says it is done.

    Out of the 1.3 GB worth of MP3's, I end up with a 103 MB M4B file... it does work... but it is only 2.33 hours long instead of the 22 hours that it should be.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I appreciate the response. Perhaps I missed it, but that doesn't cover adding a cover image, right?

    You are correct that doesn't cover adding a Image.
    You should see after a successful completion something like my screenshot.
    Bear in mind I made no chapters for my example just to see if I still knew what I was Doing.
    Just some more information>> I show where I also converted the m4b to a friendlier Mp3 file if needed. It was 10 tracks long and 1hr 14 mins Time wise.
