Help with audio book, PLEASE!!

I have purchased an audio book form ITunes and whenever I quit the book and go back it never restarts where I left off.
Help

Are you leaving your iPod off long enough for it to do a soft reset -- apple logo showing?
If that is the case, will loose current bookmark upon automatic soft reset when left off for times that vary by iPod. You can force the bookmark by leaving the audiobook and going to a song.
Otherwise, try a soft reset (hold menu and center button simultaneously until apple logo appears on display).
Just to be sure, do a right click, show file to see if m4b extension.
Try downloading some free content from somewhere and see if those bookmark. i.e., http://www.learnoutloud.com/Free-Audio-Video/Biography/Autobiography/The-Autobio graphy-of-Benjamin-Franklin/18190
be sure to chose mp4 download of this Franklin autobiography
All else fails, a hard reset.

  • Help with audio books on CDs please

    Please be gentle, I'm totally new to the ipod phenomenon and itunes etc.
    Just got a new ipod touch and want to put my previously purchased Harry Potter audio cd's on to it to listen to. Trouble is when I do that it classes them as music rather than putting them in the audio book section of the ipod. Now it's not a huge problem but it really is quite irritating. I object to paying the extortionate rate on itunes for something I've already got so don't want to download them again.
    Is there a way of changing the way itunes recognises my cds to class it as an audio book and if so is there a way of combining the 7+ cd's for each book together so that it becomes just 1 book rather than having them as seperate cd's called the same thing? (hope I'm making sense here!)
    If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

    Take another look. The Aldoblog isn't really complicated. The summary of items to note
    - You can reduce your file size by going to preferences/advanced/import and changing to 32kps (more details in the blog). Not necessary, but will save you lots of space.
    - You want to joint the cd tracks to limit the number of files. Highlight all the tracks, and select join tracks from the advanced menu. You do this each time you import a disk, and end up with one track for each CD.
    - Once you've got all your disks read in, then select the tracks to get info (you can right click). Under options, select "remember playback position". That way when you only have to remember which disk you last played.
    I create a playlist for each audio book.

  • Need help with audio books

    i have a few audio books on cd, when i rip them to itunes i am unable to catagorize them as an audio book. thus they show up under music in my ipod and the audio book folder remains empty. i tried creating a genre for audio books but that still leaves them listed under music. any one know how to fix that?

    Only audiobooks from ITMS, audible.com and AAC files with m4b extensions (applescripts for mac) show up in audiobook main menu, skip in main menu shuffle, and allow faster/slower/normal playback speed.

  • Help with Audio Formats please

    Hello everybody,
    I have a problem with the Java AudioFormat class, can you help me please?
    The thing is Im working on a voice chat using the following audio format settings:
    AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, sampleRate, sampleSize, 1, 1, frameRate, false);
    Where:
    audioReadBytes = 1024;
    sampleRate = 8000.0F;
    frameRate = 8000.0F;
    sampleSize = 8;
    My problem is that these settings can cause incrementing voice delay and sometimes even block the application. It works fine on a LAN but on the internet it never works.
    I wanted to ask you if there�s a better audioformat setting that can decrease the size and quality of the sound, so it works on low bandwidths.
    I�m new to audio formats so I don�t understand them much and when I tried to change the settings by decreasing the sample rate I didn�t get what I expected.
    Please help me...
    Thanks a lot,
    Dan.

    Based on the concept of Unity in a gain chain, if you set the levels properly at the output of the analog mixer, then they should be fine coming into the software after the A/D conversion. As long as you don't clip the digital input, you can adjust levels internally on an audio timeline, so it is always better to err on the side of too little rather than too much.
    Digital maximum is -20 dB which is equivalent to 0 dB VU in the analog world. This provides sufficient headroom to avoid clipping in most circumstance.
    Try a few different levels and see what works best for your needs.

  • Help with audio files please....

    Well I just learned somewhat about Audiofiles today and I dont know much but this is what I programmed.
    import sun.audio.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class music
    public static void playMusic()
    try
    String Filename="di.au";
    AudioStream as = new AudioStream(new FileInputStream(Filename));
    AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
    catch (IOException ioe) {
         System.out.println(ioe);}
    public static void main (String[]args)
         playMusic();
    Every time I do it though I get an error that says
    "Java.io.IOException: could not create audio stream from input stream"
    I tried running it with throws IOException to but that didn't do much either

    import sun.audio.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class music
    public static void playMusic()
    try
    String Filename="di.au";
    AudioStream as = new AudioStream(new FileInputStream(Filename));
    AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
    catch (IOException ioe) {
    System.out.println(ioe);}
    public static void main (String[]args)
    playMusic();
    }Sorry I didn't know about Quotes thought I'd fix it^^

  • Help with audio question please

    New guy here,
    I have a MAC G5 with Premiere CS4. I do not prior Premiere experience. I've worked several other NLE packages so I'm not a rookie either.
    Anyway, I'm routing the audio through an analog mixer and into a Canopus ADVC 110. I've been able to capture video and audio from a DVD player with Premiere's audio hardware settings set to (Built-in line input/Built-in line output). I've been able to capture both video and audio with the hardware setting set to (Built-in digital input/Built-in line output) put when I scrub on the time line or try he clip in he preview window it will not play back when I hit the space bar or click on the play button. When using (Built-in line input/Built-in line output)everything is fine.
    Here's my question. How do I preview and adjust the audio prior to capturing it? I can hear it just fine when I'm capturing but I can't preview the audio levels to know where I'm at.
    I thought the analog audio going into the Canopus converter would out put the audio as a digital signal since it's being exported to the MAC via firewire.
    Hope someone out there is smarter than I am about this.
    Thanks!
    Jim

  • Help with Audio for Premiere Project

    Working on a lengthy project and need some help with audio which is not my specialty!
    I am recording using a Sony EX1r and a wireless lav mic,     OK.  Here is what is happening.
    When I import the clip into project I get Audio from the left speaker.   If I burn a DVD and playback on home player with surround sound, I get audio out of just the left speaker which makes sense.    SO I go to Premier and use "Fill Left" which fixes the audio on my computer and get sound from left and right speakers.    The odd thing is that when I play this version back from DVD on the surround sound system, the audio now only comes from the CENTER speaker.  I dont get anything out of left OR the right speaker so it sounds hollow.
    I am sure I am missing something obvious so please be kind.
    Is there an easy way to get my audio to come out of Left, Center, and Right speakers (and rear for that matter) ???
    Thank you
    Ted

    Bill,
    The DVD player is a Sony BluRay and the receiver is an Onkyo AV receiver HT-R380.    
    My thinking is that it is something that I am doing wrong inside Premiere vs something that the DVD player or receiver is doing.    My final product will need to play on a variety of DVD players so I need to get it right.
    It just seems odd that my default output DVD provides sound to the left speaker but then removes it when I fill Left.
    Am I setting up my audio tracks wrong?  Or should I being doing something with a 5.1 track???
    Thanks
    Ted

  • Help with access control please

    So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

    Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

  • Help needed with audio books

  • Please help with audio problems, thanks!

    Hi, I'm relatively new to DVD studio Pro and so far the manual has been useful but i've run into some sound related problems. I'm a composer/sound designer and this DVD is to be my reel so these are fairly integral issues to its success.
    First, I want to add a sound effect to each of the roll over states, so one sound for the "over" and one sound for the "down" state. Currently i can only add audio as the backing track for each menu.
    Second, whilst most of the items on the dvd are movies that include my music, I also want to have a page purely of audio tracks which play when pressed without changing the page. How can i do this? The only DVD i've seen this done on is "The Thin Red Line" extras, promoting the soundtrack to the film.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum/discussions CC!
    Sorry to have to inform you, but unfortunately layered menus aren't supporterd with audio in DVDSP, and technically what you're attempting is a layered menu-type function - although it just may be possible with scripts, I doubt it.
    Your second request can be done however and there's several ways to go about doing it.
    I like DVD@ccess but others would recommend a method of simply placing the audio files in the built file of the DVD making them accessible to users.
    Another method I could suggest is to make a menu page exactly like the one you want to look the same and have the song you'd like to play as the music track for that duplicated-menu in question - set the target of the link for the song in the menu to go to the menu that has that song as the music track. Repeat that for the number of songs you'd like to have this feature.

  • Urgent Help with Planning Book

    Hello Gurus,
    Need your help with a very urgent issue. I cannot see my key figure values in my planning book(Interactive Planning). I could sucessfully generate my CVC, then initialised my planning area. Then when I go the interactive planning I can see all my characteristics -Ex Material master( has all values), Prod type has values, etc. Iam in DEV system and have to move the whole config to QA now. I have to validate that the config works in QA. Its works ok in the sandbox but I cannot figureout why I can not see the values for key figs that Iam loading from a Flat File. Please help!!!!!!

    Hello Suresh,
    I have one more question for you. Let me tell you my scenario. I have the client giving me a rough forecast for the future. I have to do stat forecast based on the history and check that against the initial forecast given by them. But, the problem I realised now is that when I go to my planning books I can see the values for 2008 in mothly buckets since I have 0calmonth. But the client gave me another file with forecast for 2008 in monthly buckets and for 2009 and 2010 in quarter buckets. So, i have a planning buck profile defined to meet that but, how do I upload the file with both 0calmonth and 0calquarter in a single file. Please let me know!! Urgent task.
    Thanks again,
    Chinna.

  • Problems with audio book

    I have purchased "God is Not Great" Audio Book by Peter Hitchens. This is a 4 part audiobook - each part being approx 2 hourss long. It plays fine on the computer but doesn't work at all on my iPod nano. It transfers from the computer to the nano with no problem but when I play it on the nano the screen just cycles repeatedly through the four parts in quick succession and no sound comes out.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay, after a couple of hours scouring the net and pulling my hair out, I now have to confess that I have solved my own problem - an embarrassingly easy solution as it turns out!
    I have now gone to 'settings' on my iPod and found that audiobooks was unchecked for the menu options.  I simply checked it again and 'hey presto' - suddenly I can find my audiobook on the iPod.
    Technologically challenged?  Who me? 

  • Help with Audio Device Playback

    Hoping someone out there can help. Before I updated to iTunes 7, I played back all of my iTunes music through some studio monitors connected to a Digidesign Mbox audio interface. Since upgrading, I cannot get clean audio using this device. When I select "Digidesign Mbox: Chan 1-2" as the default sound playback device in my QuckTime preferences, playing a song in iTunes gives me a garbled sound--almost sounds like a CD that's skipping. Can anybody help with a solution? I hate having to listen to my tunes through two tiny cheap computer speakers!
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I have the same problem. I get the garbled "Skipping" sound when I use the new version of iTunes. The only way I have to get around it is an old version of iTunes 6 I have saved - it has the same version of Quick Time Attached that was good (then) and should work with the WaveDriver. I have an MBOX 2 and it sounds GREAT.
    It really is bad that Apple has this "New, Great" iTunes but it won't work with the existing hardware. I can go from my Sound Card out to my Monitors, but the sound quality is bad. And it is so much easier to just use the MBOX volume adjuster - it is very handy.
    Apple, please fix this problem. I want to download DRM free music but iTunes 7.2 does not work with MBOX 2.

  • Help with photo albums Please

    Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

    The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.
