@Concretism Correct decision.
A ★★★½ review of Barbie (2023)

Damn patriarchy.

@orsolabs Hi. I've emailed you a link to a Google Drive file with three audiobooks with the stuck description field...
@orsolabs That sounds amazing!

@orsolabs Okay. I’ll send you a link tomorrow (I’m not at my computer right now).

I have another question, though. What’s the best way to deal with books where the chapter timestamps “drift”? I have a few books for which I have used the “Fetch metadata” option. It’s more or less fine, but the chapters aren’t quite right further into the book. It’s only a matter of a few seconds, but chapter breaks aren’t quite in the right place…

@orsolabs Happy to share one of the books affected, but how do you want me to send it? I imagine it’s too big for email…
@orsolabs Still not working, I'm afraid. It's only with some books and only the Description field. I have three so far - I cmd-A to select all the text, delete it, replace it with the book title, "Save and close" the metadata window, then cmd-U to update the file. Changes don't stick and the original Description remains...
@orsolabs Maybe that’s it, but I’m not trying to delete info, I’m trying to replace it with something else. I’m going for consistency and filling the description field with the book title. For files that already have something in the description field, the changes do not stick. I’m doing something similar with other fields and they work fine — there seems to be a problem that particularly affects the description field…
@orsolabs Hi. I've updated to the latest version of AudioBo, but I'm still having trouble overwriting the "Description" field in some files. I just can't seem to delete the blurb already present in the files...
@orsolabs Another quick question. If I keep “improving” my audiobook files with AudioBo, does the file degrade every time I rebuild?
