I forgot to mention that this script only converts AAC to M4B, not MP3. 
   So you'll have to use iTunes to convert the MP3 files to AAC, and 
that will create some digital artifacts in the files and hence, lower 
quality files. Unfortunately, this is the only way I know of to create 
bookmarkable files for iTunes.
