M4B audiobooks
An M4B often holds the complete book, artwork, title information, and embedded chapters in one tidy file. It can appear as one part with many chapter markers.
An MP3 and M4B audiobook player for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Keep one-file M4B books and multi-file MP3 audiobooks in a library designed around books, parts, chapters, and complete-work progress on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
One book can be one file or many
Audely supports both shapes without forcing you to convert a working collection. The files remain in your chosen folder while the listening library adds book-level organisation and progress.
MP3 audiobooks
An MP3 book often arrives as separate chapters, discs, or sections. Clear numbering, filenames, metadata, and folders help preserve the intended order.
Keep every part together
Audely groups related audio into one book and uses complete, unique numbering whenever it is available.
Resume the complete book
The current part, listening position, overall progress, and finished state stay meaningful across the entire work.
Follow embedded chapters
Supported chapter markers remain seekable inside the current source file without becoming separate copied audio.
Book-shaped playback on every Apple device
Use playback speed, a sleep timer, queueing, notes, favourites, chapters, and system media controls around the same source files on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
The local audiobook library is unrestricted in the free version. Audely Pro adds optional library sync, cloud backups, and every Audely theme.
Frequently asked questions
Can Audely play M4B audiobooks?
Yes. An M4B can contain a complete book, artwork, book information, and embedded chapter markers in one file or a small number of files.
Can Audely play audiobooks made from MP3 files?
Yes. Keep the MP3 parts of one book together. Track numbers, disc numbers, filenames, metadata, and folder structure help Audely preserve narrative order.
Should I convert an MP3 audiobook to M4B?
Not when the existing book works correctly. Conversion can discard metadata, artwork, chapter information, or audio quality. Keep the original files backed up.
How does Audely handle multi-file audiobooks?
Audely groups the files as one book with ordered parts, remembers the current part and position, and calculates progress across the complete book.
Can MP3 and M4B audiobooks play offline?
Yes, when every source file is stored on the current device. Download all parts first when a chosen folder is in iCloud Drive.
Does Audely rewrite audiobook metadata?
No. Corrections made in Audely belong to its listening library and leave the MP3 or M4B source files unchanged.
