I feel stupid because I missed your comment that actually stated that – and there isn’t even that many comments to begin with! Nevertheless, I would’ve saved some time by reading that. My bad! At least I didn’t email you. :)

It’s not a hassle to rename a file. I just browse to the file, rename the extension, and try to get the info for the file. It prompts me to browse to the file because it got changed, and it’s all done.

Thanks again for writing that, Alderete!

Except for that one step, though, everything is done exactly the same on a PC. When using iTunes under Windows, you just have to manually change the filename extensions from “.m4a” to “.m4b”, instead of using the AppleScript.

The good news for PC users is that there’s a shareware application that does a lot of this stuff automatically. See the MarkAble Guide at iPod Lounge for details.

I should note that my wife uses iTunes on a PC, and tried MarkAble, to no avail. She decided doing the work manually in iTunes was just as easy, and more reliable.
