I heart Deke.

Setting Up Cairngen in Flex Builder 3

Lately I’ve been working in Cairngen in Flex Builder 3 and I found that there wasn’t a whole lot of documentation on getting that setup, so I created a screencast (video tutorial) on it.

In the tutorial I mention a few links.  I included them below if you need them.

How to Make an iTunes/iPod Audiobook [tutorial]

iTunes Audiobooks

This tutorial will be useful for you IF:

  • You have audiobooks on CD, or in mp3 format

AND

  • You are too cheap to purchase the audiobook from the iTunes Store

OR

  • Your book is not available on the store

AND

  • You have some time, and enjoy organizing (you just want your stupid book to show up in the stupid audiobook section and you want chapters even if you might never use the feature)

OPTIONAL

  • You need a mac if you want to put chapters in the file. Sorry.

In this tutorial I will step you through joining the tracks into a single file (depending on the size of the book) with chapter markers and a bookmark. Then you will throw the file into the audiobook section on your iTunes/iPod/iPhone where it should be. There are a few apple scripts you will need. One costs $10, but has a 30 day trial so this tutorial should be free.
Just show me the tutorial
