Bookmarking audio books downloaded from CDs

I'm asking this question on the behalf of my cousin . . . don't know which iPod she has or what Windows OS she's using. Can't find a related subject. Can anyone help?

I think I know what you mean. I have run across one major issue when importing books from CDs, and that is bookmarking. Specifically, how to save your place in a multi-track playlist (such as a CD imported book).
1. It is easy to make TRACKS bookmarkable... here is a script to do that as a batch.
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=3#makebookmarkable
The problem is, audio books imported from CDs are multiple tracks... and end up, not as single tracks, but as playlists.
2. Apple has failed to make a PLAYLIST bookmarkable, and you will have to remember what track number you are on in the book. The TRACKS are bookmarkable, the PLAYLIST is not. So, if ever you want to leave and return to the book, it will remember where you are inside a given track, but it will forget WHICH track you are on in the book. Silly, but true.
3. Ask Apple to create a "Save my place in this playlist" feature. Or maybe a "treat this playlist as a single audiobook" feature.
It is an oversight that may be easy to correct. Maybe they just haven't thought it through.
I drive my kids to school listening to Harry Potter. But when I get there, I want to save my place (in both playlist and track) and listen to my music. Then, when I pick them up, I want to resume from the place (both playlist and track) that I left off. Currently this requires my feeble brain to remember which of the 170 tracks I was on. I should not have to remember, iPod is more qualified than I am at this task.
Hey, Apple... Howzabout 3 "memories" which hold the position (in playlist and track). That would be a big enhancement to my daily iPod use.
Another enhancement would be to make a track "unshuffleable." I like my music shuffled, but it's disaster for my books. I got tired of going to settings after each school run, and turned shuffle off - since when it is on for music, it is on for books as well. Maybe, in addition to being bookmarkable, a playlist could be unshuffleable! Just another thought from someone who uses his iPod daily to listen to both music and books.

  • 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.

  • Audio book download from iTunes

    I tried to download an audio book to my 2 week old, IPOD Classic....and it won't download and I get a message "The book was not copied to IPOD because it cannot be played on this IPOD.....I don't understand, are there different audiobooks for different IPODs?

    I've had 2 updates to my iTunes software since I purchased my IPOD, seems like once a week there is an update. I'm not sure how to check the authorization, I was looking in my computer settings and didn't see any authorization option. Since this is a home computer, it is not in a network or anything like that. many thanks....for any assistance on the authorization setting location

  • Do audio books downloaded from itunes play on my ipod shuffle?

    I bought a book for $17.95 and it says it downloaded it but it won't play. HELP!

    If you cannot get your audio books to play on your 4th gen shuffle, hit play. While songs are playing hold down your VOICE OVER button until you hear names of songs and keep holding it. When you hear the title of your audio book or podcast you wish to hear release the VOICE OVER button. Hit PLAY one time. I spent 50+ minutes with apple support & they were finally able find out about the VOICE OVER button. Wish that was on the directions in the first place.

    how do i open a book downloaded from itunes on my macbook pro since it is not a mobile device

    Okay i looked them up and YES they are compatible with macs. if it's formatted for windows then no it will not show up on the mac, you need to repartition it on windows or try and see if you can pick it up in Disk Utility on osX. The following link is for this HD but talking about a mac PowerBook, it should be the same for you even if you are using the Intel macs. http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/146258-iomega-portab le-hard-drive-not-mounting.html

  • Playing songs in library that were downloaded from CDs

    When I try to play songs in the library that I have downloaded from CDs, I get the following message: "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" If I say "yes", then it leads me to the song in the the ITunes folder and it will play it from that file, but it will not play direct from the library without leading thru this process. This only happens with songs downloaded from CDs and not from songs purchased thru the Music Store. This problem also doesn't allow me to move those songs to a playlist. Any idea how to somehow get the Library to recognize these songs location??? Thanks for any help.

    If you are not using iTunes Match, then you have to sync the songs to your iPhone. Please have a look into this one:

    With iTunes Match (a paid 1-year-subscription) you can upload them into the iCloud and download them directly to the new iPhone.

  • Converting Music files to bookmarkable Audio Books

    Converting Music files to bookmarkable Audio Books.
    It seems there are plenty of hacks out there but I have a real life and can't really be bothered with burning a CD with ACC files, etc. or anything else that takes more than half a minute. All I'd really like to do is highlight, click and drop the "music files" into the "Audio Book" library. Is there a simple way to do this? -And for that matter does Apple have a valid reason why this doesn't seem to be consumer friendly?

    Thanks,-This looks like just what the Dr. ordered, :? (Oy, no smileys on this forum?!) Unfortunately I made the somewhat misguided decision a few years ago to buy a pc (+ the 2+ grand of software) -OK, long story short; I need the windows xp equivalent of this script and couldn't find it in any of the sub-links. -But full marks to you for effort!
