i have try alots of comverter and soem of then work but u have to pay for then .. is there a free comverter? does anyone know how to make it work?

My library is the same way- audiobooks are windows format from OverDrive, and they won't work on an iPod.
I've been thinking about buying a lame MP3 player for that, too. An el-cheapo, but then I don't know if it will save the place in the book, so I'm still on the fence.

help me please

Your best bet would be to contact OverDrive to see what they allow for conversion. Looking at their website, they state they provide products which are compatible with itunes.

How can i run a wma audio book on my mac?

I am trying to convert a wma audio book so I can listen to it my MacPro, MacBook or IPAD. What do I need to do?

use one of the many audio converting programs out there. I use Audacity, it's cheap and works fine. However, it's a bit complicated. You could try ffmpgx or Max (sbooth.org/Max)

Can not transfer WMA audio books to new iPhone 4S

I got a new 4S and went to sync it in iTunes and got a message saying I had to load the latest version of iTunes and went ahead and did it and it worked fine. No issues and all synced and got all of my apps music and pictures!! Then i went to transfer a WMA audio book using OverDrive Media and all functioned same as with my 3G phone except I can not find the books on my iPhone. They are not in the iPod app now called Music. Also not in the books app or in OverDrive. Even asked Siri to find the book and she could not
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi
Sorry to disagree whist Audible might have recorded the books Apple puts it's own protection on the Audible files they sell in their iTunes Store unless they changed that policy quite recently.
They are dearer from iTunes at least in Australia, I will go out on a limb and say they are also in the US store
As an example I picked the fist 2 best sellers off of iTunes Australian Audio Book Store as an example,
I can only assume that either you are not an Audible Member and thus not seeing the Audible member price.

Sorry if i misunderstood, but when you started talking about Audible files I assumed ( obviously incorrectly) that they were Audible files purchased from Audible.
Audible existed before Apple had an Audio store and Audible has it's own format. In order to use Audible files purchased from Audible you need to Authorize iTunes to do so, under the advanced menu under Authorize Audible Account.
Your 4S i Assume has IOS 5 so i assumed it was the same issue i was having with my iPad 2 once i installed IOS 5. . . everything was working fine until i did
I will delete my reply if Apple will let me, because my answer has obviously upset you
I apologize for any inconvenience my post caused, i was only trying to help

What do I do to download an audio book to ipod nano

What do I do to download an audio book to ipod nano?

If you are currently using automatic syncing for the other media types, such as songs, you need to go to iPod's Books tab.
First, if you are using the latest version of iTunes, it may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, go up to the menu bar, and under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" that starts with Summary. One of those tabs is Books (if you currently have audiobooks in your iTunes library). On the Books tab, set it to Sync Audiobooks, and choose to sync All audiobooks or Selected audiobooks. If you choose the latter, checkmark the audiobooks you want to sync below. Apply the change.
If you use the manual method (not automatic syncing) to load songs, by dragging songs from the iTunes library to the iPod in the sidebar, you can do the same with audiobooks. Find them under Books in the iTunes library, and drag the ones you want to the iPod in the sidebar.

When adding audio books to ipod either manually or by syncing, the tracks seem to be in the right order but they play back in a random order which means you can't listen to the book. How do you overcome this? (Bill)

I have tried adding audio books to my ipod classic, both by syncing and manually. The tracks come up in the right order in the menu but when listening they will often play (not always) in a random order. How do I overcome this, as it is making listening to books impossible. (Tarraganda)

I have found the problem myself when I got into the Settings. Somehow it had been put onto shuffle all music files and once I turned that off it reverted to normal. I realised something basic was wrong when our other ipod that had been synced at the same time didn't have a problem. However, I had put all the books on manually, one album at a time as problems occurred when syncing the whole library, including multiple albums for the same piece of music.

How to listen to audio books on ipod touch, how to listen to audio books on ipod touch

I have an ipod touch 32gb. I just downloaded a sample of an audio book to listen to.
However, I can't for the life of me get the audio to work.
It just shows the book in print form.
It is an audio book, I verified that.
Help would be appreciated!

Actually, this is my first time exploring books of any type via itunes.
I've been only a music girl...
The book in question: The Ultimate Happiness Prescription by Deepak Chopra. It is listed under Audio Books.
I clicked the sample and it sent to my ipod touch.
I see the book under the book APP, but it's in print form only.
Obviously, I am a dumb bell when it comes to books! Maybe I'll stick with music!

Audio book on ipod out of order

I've borrowed audio books from the library and ripped them into itunes. If I burn them to a CD with Nero, they're all in the right order. If I import them to my Itunes library and then to a Playlist for my Ipod Touch, they're all out of order. I know how to arrange playlists, but we're talking 250 tracks for every book here.

Make a playlist, then hit the tab at the top to put them in order.

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

Can I play on audio book on iPod shuffle?

How do I download an audio book to my shuffle? Can I?

Hello there Tony,
Here is an article outlining how to add, and listen to Audio Books and Podcasts to the iPod Shuffle.
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using thePodcasts tab in iTunes.
All the best,
Sterling

Audio books on iPod g6

I have set up two of my audio books which I down loaded from cd's. In iTunes I converted them to audio books and set it up to remember where I left.
My question is when I turn the iPod off how do I go back to the same spot I was listening to when I shut off the iPod
I thank you in advance for your advice.

You may want to consider re-ripping the audiobook CDs. However, this time join the CD tracks into a single file per CD. Do the following:
1) Insert CD.
2) Select all the tracks of the CD.
3) Select Advanced -> Join CD Tracks
4) Right click -> Get Info and rename the Album to "Name of Book, Part X" where X is the CD number.
5) Import CD.
If there are 10 or more CDs in the audiobook use the number scheme: 01, 02, ..., 09, 10, 11, ...
This way, you don't have as many files and it is easer to get to the book you want to read.
Hope this helps,
Steven

Audio books on iPod classic

I have not been able to put an audio book (from a CD) onto my iPod classic. It uploads the tracks just fine, but treats them like regular music tracks. There is nothing in the audio books section on my menu, but all 7 2-hour tracks of the book are nestled in among my music. Any advice?

Are the iPods configured to sync audiobooks from under their Books configuration tab in iTunes. To check this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane to bring yourself to the Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your iPod.
If you do happen to make any changes to the iPods' configurations make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to update the changes to your device.

CD songs load as Audio book tracks. How can I get them into music library?

Greetings.
Strange. Some songs I've imported into iTunes from CDSs load into the Audiobooks folder. I can't drag them into the music folder. In one case, one song from one CD - but not any of the others - will only import as an audiobook. I can't even import it from my
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can get the songs into the music library?
Thanks.

In iTunes 8:
Select Track(s) > right click > get info
Options tab > Media Kind
if you want the track to appear in Music select Music or Audiobook if you want it in the Audiobook tab.
It's also useful to set the Genre of audio books to something common (spoken, audiobook etc)

Audio Books and ipods

Hello All
Recently my wife has lost some vision in her eyes and can no longer find it easy to read books. My idea is to buy an ipod (no idea which) and download the cd audio book onto the ipod so she can listen.
Q. Will whole cd audio books fit on an ipod ???????
Hope you can help me choose which model I need because I have no idea at all.
Thanks
Stuart

Depending on the format and size of the book it should have no problems fitting on any of the iPods.
A lot of my audiobooks are less than 1 gb and are in apple m4b protected format.
I suggest you let her look at the screens of some of the available iPods and see which she is more comfortable with.
The nano screen is small but not hard to read and it will hold a few books depending on the size you get.
A shuffle works good because it is so simple. Problem is some of the books may need to be broken in two which is usual in a lot of cases any way. I normally load one book on it and that makes it very easy to use. You just have to add books when she finishes them.
One thing to remember is to join files when you import the cds into iTunes. I forgot to on Harry Potter and ended up with a jillion 1 minute tracks.
