Hey, how you doing today? Today I wanna show you how to take audiobooks from the library, download them, put 'em onto your yo player. Wow, several steps are required, so let's jump right in.
Yoda player is the kind of kids MP3 player, and you have the ability to make your own, cards. You can basically put whatever MP3s you want on them. here is my list of playlists of books that I've made
Most of these are actually from the library, which is awesome, and it's free. so how did I do this?
All right, so I'm gonna go to access this item on my library website.
I'm gonna click on download MP3 audiobook, which is gonna open up a link to my Overdrive app. you might have to do a little bit of digging to find that overdrive app. Now it's asking me where to download. You can see it has five different parts. We're downloading five different MP3 s ranging from about 40 minutes to 80 minutes.
Now this is way too long so we're gonna split these up into smaller tracks. You can see it's downloading here.
Now I'm gonna flip over to listen and browser, and I'm gonna use this to grab the chapter names. I'm gonna expand this a little bit and I'm gonna zoom out on my screen here and use Google Keep to extract the text from this. So I'm gonna make a couple screenshots here.
And now I'm going to copy this JU book, copy that into Google Keep, and I'm gonna get the last couple chapters here that I couldn't grab. Google Keep has a really cool feature, which is, Grab image text. Basically it grabs the text from pictures and you can see it didn't actually come in perfectly. I need each one of these to be a different line.
Okay, now this should be ready to go.
I'm gonna copy all this and I have a spreadsheet set up.
The spreadsheet is basically going to convert this into a file type that I can use to create labels for another audio software. So I'll just kind of briefly show you how that works.
Now the audio software I want to show you is called Audacity.
I'm gonna go into that folder where I downloaded those MP three s and I'm gonna just copy these in all five of them into my audacity file. This will probably take me a few seconds for them to all load up.
Okay, so now I have five mp3 s in here. I'm going to see them all. I'm gonna hit view track size, fit, height. So now you can see them all here. If I push play, they're gonna play all at the exact same time. So I wanna stack them end to end.
So I'm gonna go to select all and tracks, line. Tracks end to ends. . Now what I really wanna do is I want to export these based on labels. And so I don't have any labels in here yet, but I'm gonna use that Excel spreadsheet to make labels.
The labels wants three rows a. an end and a chapter name.
So I'm gonna copy that from Google Keep. I'm gonna right click right here, it drops these in in the right format, and these are based on seconds here.
Now, I'm gonna go to a text file. I'm gonna pace this into my text file, and then this can be imported into that audacity folder.
Let me go to that right folder. Go back to Audacity. Now I'm going to import those labels.
Now you can see I have all these labels at the bottom. This is gonna create an MP3 based on each of the chapter titles.
Okay now, so I'm gonna go to File, export, export multiple, and I'm gonna base it off the labels. I'm gonna drop it in the right folder here.
And I've chosen this to be stereo and I've changed the quality to be 65 to 105 kilobytes per second.
I use label and track name,
okay, while that's going, I am going to start by making a playlist. I'm just gonna call this the jungle look.
I'm just gonna add one track to kind of get it going here.
So now I'm gonna upload art and once you've added a track, it kind of knows which folder to go to. The really nice thing about the Overdrive app is it also brings in a couple cover pictures. Bring that one. And I really like to make the pixels, so I'm gonna go to my icons here, upload icon, and I'm gonna right click on this and go to edit.
And I'm gonna actually make this a little bit cooler, so I'm gonna make a screenshot of that right there. And I'm gonna file save this.
Call it Jungle Pixel. Load these out, and now when I pick this, we'll bring in that pixel that I just made, applied all tracks. There we go.
Okay. You can see this is May 14 tracks Instead of the five that originally had
all my 14 tracks in here, I'll often double click on them to make sure they work.
Tiger, tiger. Perfect. Close this and I'm gonna add the rest of the audio to this track.
Open the pixel, apply to all tracks.
Okay. Now that that's done, I can just create the playlist.
And now I could go onto my
app, find the playlist, link it to a make your own card, and there it goes. Now, if you wanna go next level to make some awesome little sticker labels, which I have maybe gotten a little bit into.
You can print them out.
I would highly recommend buying this printable vinyl sticker paper that's waterproof
