audible_chapter_scraper.js

// This simple js script collects chapter titles of an audiobook from audible and
// is used to generate a cue sheet for an .m4b audiobook.
// The following steps are required to create the cue sheet with chapters:
//
// 0. Use Libation or a similar tool to get your .m4b saved to disk.
// 1. Login to Audible and open a specific audiobook.
// 2. Open the console panel (Control+Shift+J) and run this script inside the JS Console.
// 3. Copy and paste the returned content into a .cue file.
// 4. Add a '"FILE "name_of_audio_book_file.m4b" MP3' entry to the top of the cue sheet (without single quotes).
