Help with audio books

I bought and downloaded an audio book from itunes, to my computer.  How do i get it on my ipod touch?  I tried to synic it it showes up on my ipod but it won't play and I can't do anything with it. Please help........

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.

  • 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.

  • 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
    Larry

    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 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 needed with audio books

  • 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? 

  • 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.

  • Need help with order booking tutorial

    Hi

    Started Learning By practising OrderBooking tutorial for 10g.
    I am practising parellel branching in the tutorial .
    I ve invoked Rapid distributors service in branch 1 of the flow activity.
    and
    i ve invoked Select manufacturing service in branch 2 of flow activity.
    I ve deployed order booking service,rapid distributed service,select manufacturing service in the server.

    So I accesed SelectManufacturinUI in browser as instructed in book.The problem is tht it is directing me to login page where User id and password should be submitted.
    In the tutorial no info is given regarding login details fot this page.Hence i am not able to set price for order.
    So the Select manufacturing service is not completed ..hence i am not able to move further in the tutorial..

  • 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 Audio Playback While Recording

    I am an aspiring sound engineer and I am having a problem with recording in Audition 3.0 that I need help with. When i record vocals, the sound wave plays back in the speakers/headphones with like a 1.5 second delay after it is recorded. It really throws off the artists I am working with when they are trying to record vocals. How do i kill headphone/speaker playback while someone is recording?

    There are problems with a lot of internal soundcards in a lot of laptops, and these seem to be so many and various that all you can do is use trial and error and hope for the best.
    External soundcards should cure any problem, but you may have to look into what else is running on the laptop, as so much is integrated, and some machines seem to have audio problems caused by wireless or other network adaptors etc.
    As I said, I use oldish Edirol and Tascam usb units. The Tascam has a known fault (noise when using a guitar channel at the same time as phantom powering a mic on the other channel) which I can live with, and I would hope has been solved in later and current versions. The Edirol is fine. I use 2 units to give me the connections I want (ie one has jacks, the other phono plugs, and different size headphone sockets). Both these have asio and wdm drivers and work fine with AA 3.0 here. More modern devices will be usb2 and will presumably provide more channels or higher sampling rates, but these are fine. Others will be more up to date than me, but I would think anything from Tascam, Edirol, Echo Audio and I think most m-audio models should be fine. Just be wary of anything from Creative Labs. I, too, have had bad experiences with one of their products (it drew too much current from the usb port on a couple of the laptops so I never got as far as to find whether it had asio drivers working or not). But others will be more up to date than I am.
    I just went onto ebay over the years and kept bidding on sensible looking devices until I got ones at the right price, but it probably is better to buy new if you can afford it.
    Sorry I can't give a more definite answer.

  • Need help with audio...

    Hi,
    I need some help with an audio issue...a deep, buzzing sound which is so dominant, i can barely hear the rest
    the situation:
    older VHS tape (about 10 years) - i know some of you just cringed the video quality isn't the greatest, but not the worst. the audio is terrible.
    transferred with my canopus av300 to my mac (g4 d1.25) - no issues
    using FCP 4.5
    i tried the AUGraphicEQ and since it was so deep, i reduced the following to 0:
    800
    6300
    8000
    reducing anything else doesn't seem to work
    i've also tried cleaning in soundsoap both before using the AUGraphicEQ and after. If i clean it with SSoap before AUGraphicEQ, it sounds far better than the original track, but a low buzz is still present. using the EQ again doesn't seem to do much.
    the camerawork was done on a tripod about 30 yds back. no mikes were used either. just the camera capturing both a/v.
    Any thoughts on anything else to try? Any other filters? I fear the buzz is just with the main sound and no chance of completely killing it.
    I can email someone a small sample file for them to play with if you like.
    i'm really at my wits end b/c i would like to ensure i give the client as best i can (the other option would be to send the tape to a colleague's audio expert, but the price is something my client doesn't want to pay
    Cheers,
    Keebler

    Got SoundTrack Pro? It will perform miracles with getting rid of unwanted sound. It's a matter of isolalating a few frames of the sound where no one is talking, and then using a simple command to remove that sound by itself from the entire audio track.
    There is a possibilty that the Hum remover in FCP 4.5 might help...

  • Need help with this book problem...Pig game...can ANYONE help!??

    I need help with the following book problem...could someone write this code for me?? Thanks!!
    First design and implement a class called PairOfDice, composed of two six-sided Die objects. Using the PairOfDice class, design and implement a class to play a game called Pig. In this game, the user competes against the computer. On each turn, the current player rolls a pair of dice and accumulates points. The goal is to reach 100 points before your opponent does. If, on any turn, the player rolls a 1, all points accumulated for that round are forfeited and control of the dice moves to the other player. If the player rolls two 1s in one turn, the player loses all points accumulated thus far in the game and loses control of the dice. The player may voluntarily turn over the dice after each roll. Therefore the player must decide to either roll again (be a pig) and risk losing points, or relinquish control of the dice, possibly allowing the other player to win. Implement the computer player such that it always relinquishes the dice after accumulating 20 or more points in any given round.
    I realize this is a long code, so it would be greatly appreciated to anyone who writes this one for me, or can at least give me any parts of it. I honestly have no clue how to do this because our professor is a dumbass and just expects us to know how to do this...he doesn't teach us this stuff...don't ask. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone helps out!! Thank you in advance to anyone who does!!!

    Nasty comments? It's not a matter of not liking you, it's a matter of responding to the
    "I'ts everyone else's fault but mine" attitude of your post.
    If you are genuine, the program is very easy to write, so, your Professor is correct when he said you should
    be able to do it. I'm still very much in the beginner category at java, and it took me only 20 mins to write
    (+5 mins to design it on paper). 2 classes in one file < 100 lines. Most of the regulars here would do it in half the time / half the lines.
    All of the clues are in the description, break them down into their various if / else conditions. Write it down on paper.
    Have a go. Try to achieve something. Post what you've tried, no-one will laugh at you, and you will be
    pleasanty surprised at the level of help you will get when you've "obviously" made some effort.
    Again, have a go. If you don't like problem-solving, then you don't like programming. So, you gotta ask
    yourself - "what am I doin' here?"

  • Need help with audio transfer!

    I'm having problems with audio in idvd. The problem is with clips that were pasted into an imovie project from a different imovie project. The idvd preview seemed fine, but when I burned my disk, the audio associated with the pasted clips was inaudible. The same problem occurred with clips that I had "shared" as a quicktime movie and then imported into idvd. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a total amateur!
