Actually, it's not just m4? files that won't work.
This app doesn't seem to work at all.
I have tried to add mp3 files to see what it can do, and same issue. No response.
I f Drag&Drop the folder, or mp3 files, nothing happens.
If I try open, I don't get a file open dialog box.
Maybe this thing doesn't work at all on macOS 12, or there's some other bug.
It seems that nothing works.
The only menu item that responded was changing my settings to dark mode.
It's not locked up, it just doesn't do anything.

I found out which corrupts files.
AudioBook Builder is the problem. It doesn't work at all.
AudioBook Binder works great, but they just went out of business.
Their website says so long...
It's still on the app store, but who knows for how long.

Hi @Fred-IV ,
This program is not very stable under new MacOS, it seems they changed permissions again, i can't keep up with their changes using this program as it has long legacy roots. I'm rebuilding this program completely in native maner for MacOS, can promise exact release date - but it will be soon.
I think it stopped working as they program can't access any files w/o explicit permission, while it still may work under older MacOS - I don't think investing time into workaround for MacOS (with not guaranteed result) changes is wise, comparing to building new program which will work better.
Did you solve you you problem?
This program can open existing m4b and re-package ( and/or re-encode) them into m4b/mp3.
If you have windows PC maybe you can try windows version for now.

Is there anywhere we can follow along with your work on this?

At the risk of hijacking this thread (bad forum non my part), I'd like to add that I TOO can not add files to v6.1.2 using Intel. That said I am running this on Catalina so don't think I should be effected by the NEWEST permission problems discussed above.
Specific config:
- OS: Mac OS 10.15.7 (19H1824)
- Audio-Converter 6.1.2
- Files attempted: mp3
I have tried as the OP discussed:
- Drag to the finder (OS shows the + sign but nothing added in the window
- Clicked File MENU in the WINDOW of the application: neither add folder or file does anything beyond allowing for selection in UI
- Clicked add in the Queue tab this time clicking on either add file or folder DOSEN'T clear the menu selection (leaving File or Folder selected) and of course command NOT executed.
Nothing particularly interesting in the console log either (was a dev myself for years at a certain fruit company if that helps and you would like further info on app status/enviorment).
Is there a PRIOR version of the application that might have better results (given the vintage nature of this environment)? Or is there a more general issue with file actions/permissions? The application is running from the application directory and has had it's quarantine status cleared.
Thanks! And again apologies if I am hijacking however I did think the symptoms if not the complete environments were similar enough to warrant adding here in hops of potentially resolving both your cases from a potential root cause...

Followup:
Ever the former Engineer, I attempted to regress the problem by trying an earlier release (not all testing done with releases from GitHub, as this made for the easiest testing approach, would be willing to purchase via Steam or direct payment if desired but given current lack of success that seem pointless at this juncture).
Continuing... I retried same set up above Mac OS 10.15.7 (19H1824) with mp3 files but with the last version 5 release (5.6.2) again pulled from the DMG. THIS time I WAS able to add files to the UI (via menus AND drag/drop). I SPECIFICALLY declined the upgrade dialog for testing. UNFORTUNATELY when I attempted to start the audiobook conversion after bing prompted for a target destination/file name ALL content in the application vanished leaving the application the empty (no files, no name/description/etc) just it shows when launched. Again nothing particularly interesting in the log though there is a good deal of data logged if you enable debug & info messages.
One last lark I tried adding both current release and v5.6.2 MANUALLY to Full Disk access privileges to see it this might provide further insights. This had NO EFFECT on the current release HOWEVER when re-testing 5.6.2 the app now hangs when one attempts to start the audiobook creation rather then just clearing out all the info as it did in the paragraph above. Again no useful console data in terms of errors but can provide logs with info&debug on as there is much more data you are pushing there if it will assist you.
At this point I don't see much point in trying random releases without guidance so I'll wait for an update on the bug by the dev and try another application while waiting.
Please let me know if there is anything further I can provide to assist in diagnosis. I know you are working on a re-write but I am assuming that my config IS/WAS a supported config at some point and SHOULD work.... :)

i had the same issue with the mac build, i tried porting the windows exe to mac using porting kit, and it works fine with most audio files now. i used the ws11wineCX64bit22.1.1 wine engine and the latest 6.1.2 audiobookconverter exe release. so if anyone's pressed, it could be a fix.
