bookmux 0.1.11 is a lightweight, command-line utility developed by Mykhaylo Merkulov that streamlines the creation of standard M4B audiobooks from scattered audio tracks. Designed for users who prefer terminal workflows, the program accepts a sequence of input files—typically MP3, AAC, or WAV chapters—and concatenates them into a single .m4b container while preserving chapter marks and metadata required by Apple Books, iTunes, and most Android audiobook players. Its minimal interface makes it suitable for automating large-scale conversions on personal computers, home servers, or CI pipelines that prepare distributed audiobook releases. Because the tool writes industry-compliant MPEG-4 Part 14 output with embedded chapter metadata, listeners benefit from seamless progression, variable playback speed, and automatic position retention on modern devices. The single-version release, 0.1.11, is distributed as an open-source binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux, requiring no graphical environment and occupying only a few megabytes of disk space. Potential use cases include assembling public-domain recordings into unified titles, repackaging podcast series for offline listening, consolidating language-course segments, or preparing proof-of-concept files for audiobook publication platforms. By eliminating manual GUI steps, bookmux accelerates repetitive production tasks for librarians, content curators, and independent authors who maintain large digital archives. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
