[Techtalk] iPod and ID3 info

[Elwing]

I'm not sure how podcasts do it, but the audiobooks are separate as  
well.  They're .m4b files (AAC bookmarkable) and they *have* to be  
that format to show up in the Audiobooks list.

I know how to convert them on my mac, but not in Linux :(  It's an  
applescript

I found in the comments to this blog post some possible ideas (Google  
cache since his actual weblog is broke):
