Chapter and Verse

Chapter and Verse version 1.5.3, developed by Loden Software, is a versatile free tool designed for creating chapterized audiobooks compatible with iPod, iTunes, and QuickTime. Weighing in at a mere 9.1 MB, the downloadable program file, aptly named Chapter and Verse.exe, is compact enough for quick download and installation.

This Multimedia program, specifically categorized under Players, allows users to blend multiple audio input files into a cohesive audiobook compilation with chapter markers. Starting with AAC files—or any audio format supported by iTunes—users can merge files into one audiobook file. Non-AAC formats are conveniently converted using iTunes. The application further enables the addition, modification, or deletion of chapters at will.

Dynamic chapter creation is seamless with options to generate chapters at the beginning of each file or at user-defined regular intervals. Moreover, chapter images can be incorporated to visually enhance the listening experience on iTunes, QuickTime, and supported iPods.

Key features include the ability to tag fourteen different metadata options such as Title, Artist, Album, Composer, and more. Cover artwork can also be appended to the audiobook, providing a complete package ready for sharing or personal use.

A virtual testing environment ensures users can preview their audiobooks before finalizing them. Project files inclusive of all input, chapter, and metadata settings can be saved for future edits, ensuring flexibility and ease of use. This tool even allows the querying of audio properties and imports/exports of metadata, artwork, and chapters, adding to its robust functionality.

Chapter and Verse supports various Windows operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and the latest Windows 11. Previous versions such as 1.5, 1.4, and 1.3 are also available for those needing compatibility with older setups.

Pros:

• User-friendly interface for combining and editing audiobooks.
• Supports extensive metadata tagging and cover art inclusion.
• Virtual testing environment to preview audiobooks before finalizing.

Cons:

• Dependent on iTunes for converting non-AAC files.
• Somewhat dated interface compared to more modern software.

Overall, this free download serves as an excellent solution for anyone looking to create personalized, chapterized audiobooks for seamless playback on multiple platforms.
