How to put BBC audio book CDs in to the Audiobook category

I have inherited a 3rd generation iPod from my Dad who recently passed away. I have a lot of audio books on CD (BBC Radio 4 productions) that I have put onto my iPod, but despite many attempts, I can't make the imported audio books appear in the audio books category. I have a lot of audio books as I have a disability and can't hold a book, so if you could tell me how to import CDs as audio books, I'd be extremely grateful - and happy!
Thanks!
Sarah

  • ?How do I remove  audio books I got from the library using overdrive media console

    How do I remove audio books from my ipod touch  I received from the library using overdrive media console?

    To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book (Windows), select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • 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

  • 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 to save an audio book to the cloud

    The simple answer is if you want to copy an audiobook to the cloud, simply put it in Dropbox or some other online storage service. But what exactly do you want to do with it? Do you just want to store it there or listen to it?

  • How do I add audio books to my shuffle

    How do I add audio books to my shuffle

    If this is a 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, and you use automatic syncing for loading songs...  Select the shuffle in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Click on Books there.  This is the Books tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync audiobooks to the shuffle.  Set it up as desired, and click Apply.
    NOTE:  If your shuffle is currently NOT set up for automatic syncing, its content will be replaced by content selected in the sync settings.
    If you are NOT using automatic syncing for songs, so you have been loading songs manually by dragging them to the shuffle in iTunes, then you should NOT do the above.  Instead, you can load audiobooks the same way.  Drag the books you want to the shuffle from your Books library in iTunes.
    If this is a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, it is different.  Please post back.

    There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

  • Burning mp3 audio book cds

    I have mp3 formatted audio book cds that I cannot listen to using my CD player in my car but will play on my computer. I tried burning it onto a CD via iTunes but the result is the same thing. It'll play on my computer but not on the CD player in my car.
    Is this because my CD player is not formatted to play mp3? Is there a way I can convert mp3 to a more conventional format during the burning process?? Do I have to use a special CD to burn an audio CD?
    Or is it the way I have the preferences set up in my iTunes's Importing and Burning options?? FYI, I have them set to "Import Using: MP3 Encoder" and "Burning: Audio CD."

    Flag, are you using CD-R or CD-RW media? Most stereos don't read CD-RW.

  • HT1848 how do i delete audio books from my iPod nano 5th generation

    How do I delete audio books from my iPod Nano 5th generation. Have deleted from iTunes library & chose sync but it is still on my iPod.

    What you do is this; the next time your ipod is jacked to the USB port on you computer and it shows under "Devices" in your Itunes library. click on that folder (your ipod) and it will have eight folders above the Ipod's state.
    That was step one; step two is once you see this bar above the ipod's state in the Ipod's folder under "devices" scroll down the horizontal bar until you see audiobooks
    Itune's is very user friendly and will give you the option to pick and choose or pick all. to get the audio books off your ipod pick and choose the audio books you want on you're ipod

  • How to play next audio book file/chapter?

    Trying to setup an ipad2 for my mother and load some of her audio books on it.  The audio books are mostly in mp3 format with some being in m4a.  Books are marked as audio book format.
    Problem is that when placed on the ipad and accessed by going through music -> more -> audio books, the books appear, selecting one shows all files/parts of the book, but when playing, it does not advance to next file.  Particular problem in which some books are split into 3 minute chunks per file.
    Taking the same files and placing them on my ipod 5.5, they play fine and auto-advance fine.
    Any ideas?
    Ipad 2 w/ iOS 5

    iOs 5 Bug identified...
    After selecting an audio book, if you select a file/chapter directly, it will play only that file/chapter and NOT continue to the next one. Also, no icon (speaker) is shown for the files/chapter being played.
    If instead you press the play button at top left (not main focus on screen), then the book starts playing from beginning, an icon is present next to file/chapter, and the files/chapter are played sequentially automatically.

  • 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!
