Podcasts & Audiobooks show up under Music Songs

Hi. I have my iPod rather organized and I like that. The Podcasts show up under Podcasts and the Audiobooks show up under Audiobooks.
However, now I notice that when I go to Music>Songs both my Podcasts and Audiobooks show up there. I don't like that and I don't want to access them that way. Is there a way I can change the settings so that the Podcasts and Audiobooks don't show up under "songs"?

The Music>Songs folder just lists ALL the audio files on your iPod. That doesn't mean that they'll play along with your other songs though. By default podcasts and audiobooks are usually set to the "Skip when shuffling" option.
So, selecting a song from Music>Songs won't add the podcasts and audiobooks to your Now Playing playlist. Just try it out. Select a podcast from your Music>Songs list. This will add only this podcast with the rest of the other Music files (that's the list in iTunes).
I know it's weird. Here's what you can do. Make a playlist with all music with options to remove podcasts and audiobooks.

Podcasts are showing up under Albums, Songs and Artists categories on iPod

I recently purchased an iPod - 80gb. I used iTunes to subscribe to several podcasts.
On iTunes the podcasts are in the podcasts folder, the music is in the music folder - happy days!
However, on my ipod, as well as being listed under the podcast category, they are also accessible from Albums, Artists and Songs. This is seriously annoying.
Is this a bug? A girl who worked in the Apple store seems to think it might be when I brought my ipod in for them to check.
I use iTunes only to manage podcasts and music. I tried a restore and it's still the same.
The related issue is that while the podcasts sync fine and appear as desired in the podcast category, the played podcasts are still available via Albums, Artists and Songs even though I've instructed iTunes to only sync unplayed items.
Will this be fixed? Is there a workaround?

Unless Apple changes the software, there is no real fix. If you don't want podcasts to play when you're shuffling your music library, make sure the podcasts are set to Skip When Shuffling (under Get Info). And you can send your feedback to Apple here:

I have an ebook in ITunes that is showing up under Music more Genres Audiobooks, and I would like for it to go in the IBook app. I just added to my phone, is there a way to add this book to that app.?

Audiobooks go in Music, not ibooks. Is the book you are talking about not an audiobook but an .epub or some other format where you read text?

Podcasts in Itunes appear under Music Genre Podcasts

Does anyone know how to get podcasts downloaded/subscribed to using iTunes to appear on their iPod under PODCASTS instead of appearing under Music > Genre > Podcasts ?
Thanks

They should appear in both places. Do you have a "Podcasts" entry under "Music" on the iPod? If not, make sure your synching options include Podcast updating in iTunes ("iPod Options" while the iPod is visible to iTunes).

ITunes Radio isn't showing up under Music app

I finally have iOS7 downloaded, but iTunes Radio isn't showing up under Music app. I only have access to my music in the cloud, genius playlists, etc. Why doesn't the radio show up? Am I looking in the wrong place? I tried a reset, but still not showing up. Maybe I am just blind or something. Working fine on my iPad

It seems like the iTunes Radio is only available for users in the US at the moment, with no comment on how long it will take for it to be distributed to other contries. So if any of you is outside the US, it seems you are out of luck for the time being.

Getting song downloaded in a podcast to show up in music library

I subscribe to a podcast thqt downloads one free song per day. These show up in the recently added library, but not the general music library. Any tips on getting them to show up in music library? I have searched around, but have not found an answer.

Almost followed your advice of doing a conversion.
Though it grieved me greatly: I have a 2+ hour
concert that's a keeper
In another thread, someone (forget as I read
dozens of messages) mentioned that podcasts have
an invisible tag in them.
I used mp3tag to delete all tags from the file
and then I typed them in by hand. When I did an
import into my library it worked -- and there
was much rejoycing.
Note that mp3tag did not display the hidden tag;
it was only able to delete it as part of a "delete
all tags" operation.
This process could certainly be automated: dump
the tags to a text file and reload them. Rinse.
Repeat.
Anyway, hope this helps

How do I move the podcasts that show up as music albums to podcasts?

Itunes music downloaded to iPad 2 but doesn't show up under "music" app

We have a lot of music in iTunes on the Mac, most of which is from CDs we own. We synced to new iPad 2 and it shows they all went in, but can't get any of the music to show. the "music" button says nothing is there. the "Itunes" button only takes us to the store.

First of all - songs do go to the Music app for playing on the iPad - not iTunes. Look in the Music app. If it's not there - this may help ....
When you sync the iPad with iTunes - you have to select the music to sync within the Music Tab of iTunes. the Sync Music Heading must be checked and the albums, artists, playlists, etc must be selected as well in order to sync.
These kb articles should be of some help. It works the same way on the iPad.

Podcast archive only appearing under music

Radio 4's In Our Time have recently made their whole archive available to download. I've been subscribing to the podcast for some years. However, when I import the new, archived In Our Time programmes they're separated as podcasts under genre in Music but not

Un-install Version 7, re-boot the computer and then install Version 6. Your library will be untouched but you may have to steer Version 6 to find your library again.

Why do some video files show up under music, & some under movies?

I ordered a CD off of iTunes that included bonus material, 4 of which were videos. 3 were music videos, 1 an interview with the artist. The 3 music videos show up at the end of the album in the music part of iTunes, the interview video shows up seperately under movies. Is there any way to manipulate this, so all the videos can be in one place, be it under movies, or music?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out here.

Right click the file and then click get info, go to the options tab, there should be a box which says media type: change this to the option you want.

Getting podcasts to show up under the podcast menu

Hello!
I've just discovered podcasts--yay! I have a 30 GB iPod video, if this helps. Also, sorry if this is something that's been asked many times before but I went a few pages back and didn't find anything similar.
Anyway... I've subscribed to a few podcasts and I'm wondering if there's a way to put them under the podcast menu like it shows up in the tutorials. I know that they've transferred to the iPod because I can bring up the podcasts and listen to them using the search but the podcast menu remains blank. Ideas?
Thanks,
Leigh-Anne

FOr me this problem only happens when I directly download podcast episodes instead of using iTunes to download. Somehow when downloading with iTunes the files are "marked" differently to allow them to go to podcast menu.

Audiobooks show up as music

I am a complete newbie at this so be gentle. I have 4 audiobooks that I bought before I started using an iPod. I was able to import the folders containing the books, and iTunes even downloaded the cover art. The problem is I can't put it on the Audiobook section of iTunes, or on my iPod Touch. Is there something I'm missing?

With iTunes 8.x or later you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

N.b. If you're having trouble organising audiobooks within iTunes see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.
