This is important as MediaMonkey for Windows will automatically Sync such tracks with bookmarking enabled and shuffle disabled (i.e. on the iPod, you&#8217;ll be able to bookmark the tracks and be certain that when you shuffle your music, audiobooks won&#8217;t start playing).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With the above metadata, when audiobooks are synced, they&#8217;ll display in the correct section on the device, organized by Title, with tracks appearing in the correct order. e.g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On an iPod, see Genre > Audiobook > Book Title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On iPods\/iPhones\/iPads, the content will appear directly in Music > Audiobooks > Book Title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On MediaMonkey for Android, the content will appear in Audiobooks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Important Note: the iPod does not organize tracks from an audiobook into album sets. If you wish to do so, delete the &#8216;AudioBooks&#8217; filter, or change the audiobooks Genre to a genre that doesn&#8217;t contain &#8216;books&#8217;. The tracks will then sync like regular music and be grouped in Albums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MediaMonkey for Windows can Sync audiobooks just like other audio files, but if they aren&#8217;t organized correctly before syncing, they won&#8217;t display in the correct order on the device.
