[iTunes] applescripts /Was iPod woes, now it's iTunes woes

[Ken Stevens]

On my system the "Make Bookmarkable" script copies each file and  
replaces m4a suffix with m4b.  It then reimports them into iTunes and  
puts
the original m4a files in the trash.  The books then show up under the  
Audio Books section.
