How to join M4B by Joyoshare:

Step 1. Import M4B audios to Joyoshare

The first thing you need to do is to download and install Joyoshare Audio Joiner in Windows or Mac version, and then launch it. Joyoshare offers 2 different ways to add M4B tracks. You can click the Open File button to import audios. If you want to add files more quickly, just drag and drop M4B files to the screen.

 

Step 2. Pick one combining mode and the output format

Click the Format button on the right bottom and a new window pops up, which shows 2 modes: High-Speed mode and Encoding mode. The former allows you to trim and combine M4B files losslessly and export the merged file at 60X faster speed. The latter supports editing M4B audios and adjust some video and audio settings, including codec, channel, sample rate and bit rate.

 

Step 3. Cut needless parts of M4B tracks

After choosing the output format, return to the main interface. Double-click one M4B audio you want to trim, then move the yellow sliders to remove the unwanted sections of M4B.

 

Step 4. Edit M4B files (optional)

Click the Edit button on the main screen. Then you can add one of various sound effects.

 

Step 5. Start to combine M4B files

If necessary, you can rename and rearrange the positions of M4B audio tracks. Then just click the Convert button next to “Format”.

 

Part 2. Total Audio MP3 Converter

 

Total Audio MP3 Converter is another audio tool to merge M4B files. Apart from M4B, it still supports many other formats, like MP3, WAV, AAC, AIFF, FLAC, M4A, OGG, and WMA. Different from Joyoshare Audio Joiner, this software only runs on Windows computers, including the newest Windows 10 version. Unluckily, the free trial version of Total Audio MP3 Converter only supports to merge half of the source file.

 

How to combine M4B with Total Audio MP3 Converter:

Step 1. Download and run Total Audio MP3 Converter;

Step 2. Click "Add Files" button to select M4B audiobooks at the same time;

Step 3. Press on "Convert to One" to choose one output format. And then combine M4B files into one.

 

 

Suggestion & Conclusion:

After learning the details of two M4B joiners above, you may have chosen one of them to merge M4B files. Based on my experience, I prefer Joyoshare Audio Joiner. The reason is that its trial version provides all functions as the full version. You can combine the whole imported M4B audios. However, Total Audio MP3 Converter only allows you to combine half of the M4B tracks. But if you want to pay for one of them, the latter is cheaper.
