Audio book has no chapter headings

Downloaded "Walden".
It appears in iTunes as Part 1 and Part 2.
No chapter headings.
No way to navigate through eleven+ hours.
Imagine a CD with no song titles.
Think of a city with no street signs.
Is this universal?
Any help?

Glad you got the Audiobook sorted out. Audible.com seems to have a really good model for iTunes and iPod integrated audiobooks, as well. I've been using their service for quite some time, and highly recommend it.
In iTunes, click your iTunes menu and select Preferences. Click the Playback tab. If 'Crossfade playback' is selected, go ahead and de-select that option and click OK.

Why does audio books list by chapter instead of books?

Why does audio books list by chapter instead of by book ?

Perhaps I should have given more detail. The device works the way it works. Listing every chapter is part of the normal behaviour, and often not in a useful order which is the main thrust of that article. However it does point out that you can use one of the various free/cheap tools available to stitch the individual files into a single audiobook file which is what iDevices really expect to receive.
Alternatively you could use a smart playlist which matches a particular title and only includes files with a play count of zero to make it easier to locate the current chapter. I don't recall ever trying this so I'll have a go and see how it works out.

Audio books show every chapter

Im having real trouble with my audio books, they show up fine in Itunes but when I go to audiobooks in my 160Gb Classic it shows every chapter of every book on the main screen, not just the one tile for each book (a nightmare to scroll thought every chapter of the previous books if you want to get to a book at the bottom of the list)
this is after iv converted them from mp3>m4a>m4b so they are all in the right format.

My audio books has an echo in it

my audio book plays fine on my computer but sounds like it has an echo when played thru my headphonesd

- Have you tired inserting/removing the headphone plug about a dozen times?
- Have you tried another pair of headphones?

Only half of my audio book has downlanded

Hello i have downloaded a audio book, which was amazing till half way through i realised it had not downloaded fully???

Try another set of earphones. If it still does it, you may have a problem with the jack itself or where the jack connects to the logic board.

The option to play audio book has gone after IOS6 update audio books are on the iphone

Hi since updating to IOS6 I seem to have lost the ability to play Audiobook, if I go to the Ipod app the option isn't there and hen I connect to my car it says the folder is empty. Is there something I need to do to be able to play audio books. The audible app finds all the books so I know they are there, but doesn't work in the car where I like listening to books on long journeys.

anilsudhakaran Thanks! This did the trick. I guess this was added with the update since this view used to be visible for me without the added step. Greatly appreciated

I recently downloaded an audio book, while the book sounds ok on my mac it has an echo in my iPad. Any way to fix ?

I recently downloaded an audiobook from itunes the audio book has an echo on my iPad although it works on my main mac...any ideas?

Hello robbinredbreast,
I'd recommend putting the iPod into 'manual mode.' This will need to be done from the computer that it's normally synced to in order to prevent removing existing content, but it can then be connected to your computer, and you can add the audio book without removing the current library on the device.
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

Audio book download from iTunes where is this stored on yr iPad 2

Hi all, I am trying to find where my purchased audio book has been stored by my ipad2. I have successful purchased an podcast from iTunes and easily found how to access this. I have retraced my steps via iTunes and it is telling me it's downloaded but it's hiding and it's driving me mad. As u have guessed Christmas present, thank u

It should have downloaded into the Music app - when you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

Moving forward and backward in audio book chapters on M

I have a MuVo TX FM and I can't figure out how to move back and forth between chapters in a audio book. The chapter numbers are shown on the display. How can I skip chapters or go back?

THere are two ways to ff/rw within a track... see if one works better than the other.
While the track is playing, you can either;
A) press and hold the rw/ff button.
or
B) Press the select (center) button once. This will bring up the track's progress bar. From here you can move around within the track by using the touch wheel (just like you're adjusting the volume). I find this to be more accurate when trying to find a specific location.
Good luck.
Cheers!

The audio book on my nano only emits a quick, tin-like sound beginning with the 77th chapter. Any ideas?

I have been listening to a four volume audio book on my nano. At the 76/77th chapter, the narration stops and all I hear is a faint, rapid beat-like sound. This happens on all subsequent chapters. (The first 76 chapters continue to work just fine.) This had never happened before, and I've listened to a ton of books.
I restored the nano to the original factory settings and synced the book to my nano again. Same problem.
The book plays just fine on my computer, so I don't think it's corrupted.
One other bit of information. About 3 months ago, I dropped the nano and cracked the glass a bit. I covered the cracks with some clear packing tape, and it has continued to work just fine--until now.
My software is up to date--version 1.2. Mine is an 8 GB nano, the little square version. It's about a year old and is formatted to my Mac.
Any ideas?

The info on my MacBook is incorrect. I'm running OS 10.9.5,

Chapter Markers for Downloadable Audio Book?

Is there any way to create download-able (ie something other than wav) audio that has chapter markers in it? I'm editing and producing an audio book for a client. This recording will be available to customers from his site via download. The customers who download this audio book will need the ability to navigate chapters as you would with music CD tracks.
I certainly know how to use track markers when burning a CD. But web audio must be either stream-able or data-compressed to make it practical as a download, right? And the mp3 format does not recognize markers. Does anyone know what I could do to create a navigable audio program that can be downloaded as an audio book from the web?
Thanks!
Ken

Wavpack uses cues just like wave files but it will only halve your filesize. Then again, it has a hybrid mode... maybe check out www.wavpack.com for the possibilities there.
Maybe simply break it up into chapter-size mp3's and package those as a zip file. You'd end up with the equivalent of a normal music mp3 album.

How to play next audio book file/chapter?

Trying to setup an ipad2 for my mother and load some of her audio books on it. The audio books are mostly in mp3 format with some being in m4a. Books are marked as audio book format.
Problem is that when placed on the ipad and accessed by going through music -> more -> audio books, the books appear, selecting one shows all files/parts of the book, but when playing, it does not advance to next file. Particular problem in which some books are split into 3 minute chunks per file.
Taking the same files and placing them on my ipod 5.5, they play fine and auto-advance fine.
Any ideas?
Ipad 2 w/ iOS 5

iOs 5 Bug identified...
After selecting an audio book, if you select a file/chapter directly, it will play only that file/chapter and NOT continue to the next one. Also, no icon (speaker) is shown for the files/chapter being played.
If instead you press the play button at top left (not main focus on screen), then the book starts playing from beginning, an icon is present next to file/chapter, and the files/chapter are played sequentially automatically.

IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast. What can be done?

Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks. But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.
