Issue/Request Stephen Fry/Arthur Doyle - Sherlock Holmes does not download correctly due to either Audible or Libation

[ghost]

The 6 Book Sherlock Holmes audiobook is 62 hours long. Containing adventures of sherlock and books 1-6. Issue: Audible however has these out of order, and upon trying to fix them. I discovered an issue. A commenter had posted the correct order. So I attempted to use libation to download the mp3, then another program to split with the .cue file libation provided. And re-order the resulting files, manually with the guide the commenter provided. This worked semi successfully, some of the files did not have the correct length compared to looking at the audiobook chapters on audible. Others, for example "The Boscombe Valley Mystery" had a length of, 0:00:00. and should have been over an hour long. And I also at some point, ended up with, more files. So i'm not sure what happened there. At this current point i have about 4 folders of the same files in various states of "trying to fix" and at this point i'm ready to ask for the Libation Gods to come to the rescue.

Request: So here i request that you please work your magical Libation powers and use this commenter's guide to make libation download and correctly order the Sherlock Holmes 6 book collection. The commenter's comment can be found as the top comment on the audio book. However i will post it below as well. I know this might be alot of work but I personally would be eternally grateful and i feel others would be as well considering that most comments on this audiobook only complain about the ordering ruining the collection.

Oh my goodness, I never thought of trying to fix that ... you're right, it would be great to have a fix. CAN Libation do this, though? It feels more like an audio editor program.

@wtanksleyjr Currently, No libation can not. However I believe the Libation people could make Libation do it with relative ease. I feel like they could accomplish this by somehow allowing libation to interpret the .cue file, and then compare it against the file names that it would output for files if chapter splitting was enabled, BEFORE it does anything. And then reordering the files to the correct order.

While I cannot be sure, I believe this is something Libation could handle because it already can split chapters, and if it cannot already, i think it would be simple to enable it to interpret .cue files as well.

I tried using an audio editor program.. But as stated in the post... I did not have much luck and ended with files that were not corrupt, but not all at the correct lengths.

Looking at it as a whole, we have a guide for the correct order. A tool that can split files into multiple chapters. It can't be THAT far from being possible. There has to be someone able to correct this. I already plan on donating to Libation if they can fix this because I so desperately want to listen to this audio book. But, in the correct order.

the Libation people

The Libation people is me :) There's another guy who specializes in decoding and he chipped in for a few months to greatly improve that, but really it's just little old me.

Sorry. My plate is more than full at the moment. Without help, I have to say no to a lot of requests. I'm currently behind just on bugs people have found lately and I'm about to start a new job which is going to take much more of my time.

@rmcrackan Sad. But I completely understand. Best of luck to you with your new job
