NOTE:
 - OSX users, I strongly suggest looking into https://github.com/gonzoua/AudioBookBinder.  Combine with a shell script
   and iTunes to make quick work of creating audio books.
   
Required tools:

 - ffmpeg + libfaac		: http://ffmpeg.org/
 - mp3info			: http://www.ibiblio.org/mp3info/		
 - ChapterTool (mac OSX 10.4)	: /Applications/GarageBand.app/Contents/MacOS
 - abmaker (perl)

Instructions:

 - Compile MP3 files into a folder, each file being an ipod chapter
 - run abmaker
    . MP3 files will be joined into one large file
    . MP3 files will be converted to a .m4a using the equivalent bit / sample rate
    . XML bookmark template will be generated with appropriate time positions

 - edit the resulting XML chapter info details
 - (On a MAC) run the ChapterTool using the resulting m4a / xml files:
 	F='em-tsod-p1'; ChapterTool -x $F.xml -a $F.m4a -o $F.m4b -nu -np

Misc:
 - OSX 'ChapterTool' can now be found as part of GarageBand.  This is the only
 	component that requires OSX to run.
 - Quick bash script to merge multiple CDs / Tapes together:
 	for ((CH=1;CH<=9;CH=$CH+1)); do C=`printf "%02d" $CH`; echo "$CH"; cat Tape\ $C?.mp3 > new/Tape-$CH.mp3; done
