Transfer audio book CDs to an iPod
By Donald Bell on 16 June 2009
Now, open up your iTunes preferences and under import settings, select AAC and from the drop-down settings menu, select Spoken Podcast. This is technically a low quality setting, but it's been optimised specifically for voice, so you'll never hear the difference. The reason we're changing it is that if you're dealing with a six- to 10-CD audio book, this will significantly cut down the time it takes to encode each CD. Still, don't forget to change it back to your original setting once you're finished, or the next music CD you rip could sound funky.
