Audio books mixed in with music

Hi, I am a bit of a novice with all of this so please bear with me and keep answers as simple as possible!! I download from CD audio books for my son, primarily harry potter, they are currently all mixed in with my music. I put them into seperate playlists for each book to try and keep a track but they play when I have my ipod on shuffle.
I am looking for a way to have them seperate as audio books. Also I the audiobook header in the Library has disappeared, any ideas on how to reinstate this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Me Again!!!
I have imported a set of 24 cds all for one book using the advice given on here and aldoblog.
When I have set them as 'audiobooks' it has transferred them into the books section. But, it has put each seperate cd as an individual book. No big deal, but just a bit annoying and not as tidy as the others that I have done.
Any ideas on how I link them together.
Many thanks

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order. How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ... How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

How do I sync an audio book in itunes with my iphone

I downloaded an audio book from Amazon/Audible and it is currently in my itunes library. When I try to sync with my iphone, I am unable to find my list of audiobooks for purposes of syncing. When I am in the Sync function in itunes, I see music, video, books, etc. but no selection for audiobooks (Note, the Books selection is only for electronic copies of print books). Where do I find audiobooks for purposes of syncing?

With your phone connected, iTunes running, click on the "Book" tab, scroll all the way down, is sync audiobooks checked? If not, put a check in the box.

Mixing Video with Music

Hello.
I am new to iTunes. I own a PC and normally use Windows Media Player for songs and music videos. I create playlists in Media Player which contain both songs and videos mixed together and play them in full screen for gatherings in my home as my computer is connected to my TV and it makes for nice entertainment for everyone while mingling.
I really like the quality of the downloads available from iTunes but cannot seem to get videos and songs to play together like I can with Windows Media Player. With iTunes, it seems to be either one or the other, not both!
How do I create a playlist in iTunes to play both video and music at full screen? Is this not possible with iTunes 6.0?
Thanks,
cmc123

Thank you for the reply. Microsoft Windows Media Player has been able to do this for over ten years now, but, yes, I have found out from other people as well mixing video and music under the same playlist is impossible with Apple software. Shame.
Well, I will just have to abandon Apple and go back to Microsoft, but thank you for answering.
Best wishes,

Will my m audio Project Mix work with logic x?

Hi, just wondering if my M-Audio Project Mix I/O will work with Logic X. I am currently running Mavericks.

If it works with any other CoreAudio based app on your Mac.. it should work fine with Logic Pro X as the key is .. if it is compatible with your OS X version. Its not about compatibility with Logic Pro X at all in reality... as LPX uses Core Audio which is part of OS X.
So do you have it up and running in 10.9.2 and does it work with any other audio app? If so which one(s)?
If you haven't tried yet, you may be out of luck as the last driver update for your device was way back.. for 10.7.4.... and some people had issues getting to work under Mountain Lion, let alone Mavericks...

Audio books wont move from music libary

if i rip a audio book from cd and import into itunes. there seems to be no way to move it into the audio book libary. can anyone help

I have the same issue, although I am on a Mac. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is in my music library even though I set its 'info' to Audiobook. I have 3 audiobooks in the Audiobook section of iTunes that do not show up in my music library, but their info is set the same way as the Tulane files.

You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:

How do I upload audio books and music at the same time

I like listening to Audio Books as well as music but everytime I upload any music it deletes the audio books and when I upload audio books it deletes the music. How do I keep both on my iPhone without the other being deleted.
Cheers

Thats what I was doing wrong. Both music and books were ticked but I wasn't clicking on the books tab and ticking what I wanted to upload there.
All I need to do now is work out why iTunes stops working when I start typing to submit details gracenote.
Thanks

Can not access audio books itunes via Mycloud

I have no problem in Mac itunes selecting the MyCloud and everyone sharing the music. However, I can not get the audio books to work. I was able to use the MyClould as an external drive to offload large iTunes Libraries for users on the network. That work's. However, when I put the audio books into the Public Music file, or a folder with the aubiobooks into the Public Music Folder when I select MyCloud from the iTunes application and select audiobooks it says no audio books to select. How come this is not working? How do I get the audiobooks to share on the network as the music files do? Thanks

It is generally not recommended to put media files in the "Public" folder even though the WD My Cloud User Manual recommend it. The reasons for not using the "Public" folder are discussed in the [FAQ] Twonky DLNA Media Server Setup & Use thread. It is advisable to read that thread to understand some of the quirks of the Twonky DLNA media server. Ensure your audiobooks are in a format that Twonky supports. This link has a general list of supported Twonky media file formats. Ensure your audiobooks are properly tagged (metadata). If they are not Twonky may not display them properly. If one is using MP3 formatted files they can use a free metadata tag editor like MP3Tag to edit the metadata for their audio files. Lastly if you have moved a large amount of media files to the WD My Cloud, it will take the device quite a bit of time, sometimes as long as 24 or more hours, to scan the media and update or build the Twonky media server database and the iTunes server database. If one continues to have trouble with the media files not being found, try rebuilding the media databases by selecting "Rebuild" under Settings -> Media -> DLNA Media Server -> DLNA Database and selecting "Rescan" under Settings -> Media -> iTunes-> iTunes Database. Rebuilding the database(s) may take a considerable amount of time.

TS1362 Audio book speed ipod

When an audio book downloads to my computer the sound levels and speed of narration is brilliant, however when I then download to my ipod, the speed of the narration goes double quick time. How can I resolve this please?

hello,
if you want to have your audio book shown in the audio book section of your ipod, firstly need to know what an audio book in itunes is. if you load down the audio book from the itms, it's automaticly in the right file type. this file type is either called .m4b (from itms) or .aa (from audible.com). all what you need to do is renaming the ends of the file names from m4a to m4b. if you'll copy it now on the ipod it will be shown in the audiobook folder. but there will be ALL the titles of the audiobook. if you load down an audiobook from the itms, it's just one long title. so you need to kit all the titles together. myself i'm making that with the lil program MediaJoin, which you just can look for in google.com. there you can kit all the audio files to one big file. the ipod supports the bookmark function, what means, if you hear your audio book, then you hear music and you later wanna hear the audiobook at the self part of it, the ipod goes automaticly to this part.
I'm sorry for my bad english, I am a german pupil... but i hope i could help you

Audio books tracks

I have had some co-workers download a few audio books from the iTunes music store.
When they downloaded the book it came as one long track. Are all the audio books like that? Or do they download with each chapter being a track?
If they do download as one track how does it work with burning to CD? It would be a pain to have a audio book on CD and not be able to skip forward to the next chapter.
I am very unfamiliar with how audio books work from the iTunes music store so if anyone can give some insight, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?

Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

How to burn iTunes audio book to CD that will play in my car

I purchased two audio books from the iTunes music store. I have no intention of sitting at my computer for twelve hours listening to the books. I intend to listen to the books on my car CD player during long road trips. When I try to convert the files I get a message that says that they can't be converted because they are protected files. How can I play them on a CD in my car?

I THINK my iTunes preferences were already set to "Audio CD" on my first, failed attempt. For this failed attempt I simply hit the burn icon in the upper right of iTunes. When I followed your advise my preferences were already set as you suggested but this time I used one of the pull-down menus along the top to select "burn playlist to ....". This worked perfectly. Problem solved. Thanks for your help.

Audio book loses (forgets) position

i have been listening to audio books using the default music app, in itunes i set it as an audio book, to not include it in shuffle, that it is a compilation and to remember where i left off.
But if i don't go crazy closing apps after i use them (being very careful not to close music app) my iphone runs out of memory and completely forgets that it was even playing anything, it is very frustrating trying to refind my position all the time.

This gets anoying very very quickly. It seems the player remembers some random point in the book and always resets to it.

Audio book chapters won't sort in order

I'm downloading a book and either in audio book format or as music, I cannot get the chapters to sort in order on my iPod. They sort in order in iTunes, but when I download them to the iPod, they come in reverse order. That really doesn't do it for me when I'm driving and listening!
