second make sure the book in question is in the MM library.
You can do this two ways you asked how to do this in MM so I’ll spare the drag and drop option.
if you want all your audiobooks in the audiobook folder then you'll have to do it manually. First connect the player to the computer and open MM, select the audiobook in question. then the fuze icon should be seen in the Music explorer tree.
The icon shows for the fuze and any expanded ram MicroDS card you have, up in the Media explorer window. Right mouse click on it and Configure device . select Audiobooks and all your audiobooks should show up under the this tab, if they are labeled Audiobook other wise they will show up in the music folder. Check Genre settings for audiobook. other wise the fuse thinks it's a music file. doesn't matter if it's in the audiobook folder or not. Remember that the same goes with podcast's and the Genre podcast. now check mark the audiobook you want and hit ok and now here is the tricky part getting it in that folder. Click the Advanced option in the corner of the Device profile. Here you will see a option for Destination. Now type in a destination point. \Audiobooks\<Album>\<Filename> this will upload all the audiobooks to your path that you have specify. Now hit the sync button and MM will move all your selected audiobooks to your player. Or should anyway. It’s takes some time to get right.
it seems Music Monkey wants to sync all audiobooks to the same folder as music by default as you guys have pointed out. I haven't had MM that long but I'm figure something new each day. I mostly just move audiobooks manually by a means of copy and paste using the MTP interface. just find that folder labeled Audiobook and copy and paste it there. other wise Yes MM will paste them all together in one big folder as we've all found out.

The reason i point out this article is it says this "The Sansa Clip and Fuze are generally considered some of the best audiobook players out there. On top of supporting every single service mentioned here, they also have a separate section on the player for audiobooks and another separate one for podcasts. That means that you can put MP3 files under audiobooks and get special features like delete, auto-bookmark and playback speed controls. To get the files marked as audiobooks, either set the ID3 tag as "audiobook" or put the files in the AUDIOBOOKS-folder. "¬
hope this helps
