Help with Audiobooks.

Stan · Post by **Stan** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 1:34 pm

I got a new Nano (video), it's my first iPod, and am having trouble getting Audio books to work with MM3.
Found a program that will convert mp3's to m4b's, but can't seem to get them to show up as audio books.
Tried drag and drop to the iPod, and syncing, but they keep showing up as music files.
Also tried filters, and set up the filter as audio books still no joy.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you check if track genres are AudioBook and try to sync them like that?

BTW No need to Double Post.

For Some reason MM3 do not recognize tracks as Podcast or AudioBooks in filter. Track is an episode if genre is 'Podcast' or 'Book' try that if it sync like Podcast.

No joy.
Guess MM3 doesn't do Audiobooks yet.
I've tried everything from book, Book, Books, Audio Book, Audio Books, Audiobook, Audiobooks nothing works.

Confirmed. The problem was that the new iPods require one more thing in order to show tracks as Audiobooks. It will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks, now I can just wait instead of beating my head against the wall trying to get it to work!
Any idea how far down the road this will be?

I'm bad!

All though the M4P files don't show up in the audiobooks section, it does however do bookmarks which is important. I can live with that until it's fixed.

Can someone please confirm whether this is still in the "to-be-fixed" list?
If so, any idea on the schedule for release?

Many thanks
Hank

Just going by the dates of the posts I would imagine this has been fixed already, but I don't have an iPod or audiobooks to test/be sure.

It doesn't appear to work for me and I'm running 3.0.2.1134, which looks to be the latest edition.

As mentioned above, its not a showstopper. I just have to search through my artist list for the audiobook author. But it would be nice if it worked as intended.

Cheers
