Hi, Just for clarity: audio book builder takes an audio book made up of multiple mp3's and zips it into 1 or 2 .m4b files that itunesrecognizes as an audio book. Cocktail is a OSX utility. Jeff p.s. How do I go back to Yosemite from El Capitan, do I have to wipe the drive and re-install everything?
