Anyone With Personal Experience Converting .m4b To .mp3 Files By Chapter?

I've been listening to an .m4b audiobook with VLC on my computer and it works beautifully with chapter-points in place for navigation, but when I wanted to listen in my car using Android VLC player I realize now it does NOT have chapter-advance buttons within the single file - only has the slider for the full 13 hours of dialogue which jumps around about an hour at a time :cry: . The buttons on Android VLC only work as a file skip (forward/back) navigation, so I figure I can make mp3 chapter-files which will work much better with the slider since it will be parsing down to minutes at a time.

Has anyone successfully converted an .m4b to multiple mp3 chapter-files?

Or is there a separate player app that is Android Auto compatible that will play these .m4b files with preserved chapter navigation?

I drive a lot and listen to audio books to make it tolerable, but often want to go back a few minutes and re-listen when I don't understand certain parts (I have hearing imbalance due to 50% hearing loss in left ear) and this large single file makes that nearly impossible.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

That looks perfect! Thanks, anon!

Been using that app for a few days - works beautifully. Thanks again for the info!

I'd never heard of it or even the M4B format before, so lucky find for both of us I guess :)
