Problem playing audiobooks with music app

Ever since the new update listening to my audiobooks has been a challenge. The app does not show chapters any more and now every time I stop listening to a book and then go back later the book starts over. Is there a fix? or another app I can use to listen to audiobooks on my iPhone?

I had this problem too and my roommate solved the problem!

Does the EQ setting affect only audio played from the Music app?

Does the EQ setting in Settings -> Music affect only audio played from the Music app or does it also affect any other audio? Specifically, I'd like to know if the setting is applied to audio podcasts that are played from Downcast. Thanks!
--VV

They will only affect the Music app.

Problems with music app after upgrading to iOS 5

i'm very particular with the organization of my ipod stuff. it has to have album art and it has to be properly sorted out by artist and album. after upgrading to iOS 5 i found several problems with the music app:
1. some artists dont show on the artist section. i've tried fixing the album artist info, sorting info etc and nothing.
2. some albums duplicate themselves in the albums section and it only gets cured if you delete a certain song in the album. if you try putting the song back the albums duplicate again.
3. some album art dont show. i've tried plugging in the album cover directly to the song/s in the ipod, and deleting the song and recopying the song from itunes and still nothing.
anyone care to weigh in?
did i mess up the installation?

I just spent hours trying to solve same (I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen) and I am very picky about its organization too. What I can tell you:
1- The artists suddenly not showing in the artist section: Double-check that their albums are not marked as "part of a compilation"... because I had 8 artists disappearing after the upgrade and all their albums were marked as "part of...". After removing that "compilation" tag, all 8 artists reappeared where they had been all along under the previous iOS, namely under the Artists category.
2- I had an album that did not want the artwork to show. And each time I was able to transfer it back with the art, it would duplicate tracks on the iPod Touch. I finally was able to solve it by deleting manually from the iPod the album (by slowing dragging my finger to the right on the album title and click on the delete button when it appeared) then by deleting it also from the iTunes library and syncing. Then I reloaded the album in iTunes and resynced on the iPod Touch and the album reappeared without duplicates and with the artwork.
3- Finally, one album was correct (track-wise) but no artwork. I double-checked everything and manually check the info for each track and 2 tracks had not artwork attached to it and a 3rd had 2 artworks. I manually attached the correct artwork to each track THEN to the whole album. Then I resynced and everything FINALLY worked fine.
OUFF!

Problems playing audiobooks

I have a number of audiobooks that originally came on CD, I have ripped them to my PC as WAV files and then used Nero Wave editor to join all the tracks together into one single file. Finally I used iTunes to convert the file to ACC.
The file plays fine from iTunes, but I have a problem playing it on both of my iPods an iPod Mini 2ndG, 6Gb and an iPod Video 5thG, 80Gb.
When I attempt to play back the audiobooks, they start playing from the place that I left off last time, but within a few minutes the iPod skips to the next track and I lose my place in the audiobook.
The fault usually happens after I have had my iPod connected to my PC, or first thing in the morning when the iPod almost always needs to restart (blank screen with the apply logo in the middle).
My Windows XP machine is kept upto date with the latest updates and I am using the latest version on iTunes and the latest firmware on both iPods.
iPod Mini 2ndG, 6Gb & iPod Video 5thG, 80Gb Windows XP Pro

I made a test and purchased a new audiobook (it cost $25.99 so it was an expensive test, a gamble).
After it downloaded, and launching the Music App, there was a previously non-existant menu item for "audiobooks". And the new purchase played.
SO ... Now the question/problem is how to restore the previously purchased audiobooks?!

How to view long chapter titles without abbreviation for audiobooks in music app?

Many of the names of the chapters of the audiobooks I listen to in the music app are extremely long (i.e., more than 22 characters). However, I cannot find a way to display more than the first ~22 characters.
When I start playing an audiobook, I click the little button in the upper right corner of the screen. This displays all of the chapter titles. However, it displays only one line per title, and if the title is longer than ~22 characters, it abbreviates with an ellipsis. Clicking on the title just causes it to play. Side scrolling doesn't seem to be available. I can find no way to display the whole title. This is extremely frustrating, because I like to know what I'm listening to, and I sometimes like to be able to choose a chapter based on the title.
Is it possible to display long chapter titles for audiobooks on iOS, or is this a missing feature that I need to ask Apple to incorporate into a future iOS build?
PS It would also be nice if the app displayed the chapter titles on the playback screen (i.e., on the screen one sees without having to click the button in the upper right hand corner). I'll suggest this to Apple as well. If others do the same, athttp://www.apple.com/feedback/ perhaps they'll listen.
PPS It would also be nice if audiobooks could be displayed by author, the way music can be displayed by artist, on iOS. Another piece of feedback I'll be giving Apple. Please do the same if you'd also like this feature.

Beatport songs cant play in my music app on my iphone

All the songs I bought in beatport Not working in my music app on my iphone, what can i do?

I'm having the same problem with MP3 downloaded from beatport.
The songs are added and listed normally on the iphone; when I try playing them, the player (and the iphone) freezes completely; sometimes the player crashes, sometimes it will recover (go back to the songs list)
Sometimes the track will play normally.
This started happening around february 2013.
I will get in contact with Beatport to see if they have seen this proble,
This happens on tracks on the recent album by "The Black Dogs" Tranklements (the track "Bolt 3533f (Original Mix)" is having this problem.
Thanks.

Phone reboots when certain songs are played on the music app?

on my iphone 5c, if i try playing certain songs in my music app, they play for a few seconds and then my entire phone reboots. i have a lot of music on my phone and all of the songs that do this are from the same album. it also didn't start doing this until after i updates to ios 8. i've tried looking elsewhere to see if someone else has had this problem but i've come up empty. its really inconvenient because i can't even listen to those songs now. i've also noticed that its only when i have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into my phone.

Hi princessruto,
If you are having issues with your restarting when certain songs are played through headphones, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Playing videos on Music app.

Since I downloaded upgrade, I cannot see music videos on Music app. I can see them one by one on the Video app, but when I create a playlist in order to shuffle the videos (for when I run), they cannot be seen. I can see them on iTunes and Video app, but not on playlist. I can see them when I click add and done, they come up as if I were deleting them with the red circle next to them. When I click done again (not selecting to delete), the list goes blank and I cannot select them. I might sell my iPod and switch to another player if this is not fixed.

I agree with you G-Daddy. I just bought Alpocolypse and it has several music videos at the end. On my iPhone it will play all of the songs and then play the music videos. Not so on the iPad.
Someone will probably make an App for that, if Apple lets it through.

Possible Bug/s with Music app

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but on my TouchPad none of my album art shows up in the preview mode when selecting a song. All but two albums will show up in full screen mode, the first bad one just gives a black box and thesecond one shows it sees no album art at all. When loaded in HP Play all the songs show the have album art.
My second issue is one of the albums I do have the music app thinks two of the songs from the album are from an unknowen album and unknowen artist. Again HP Play see everything fine with it. Same as iTunes for all my music.

Problem with music app on iPhone 4 with IOS7

Music will not play after ios7. Tracks just scroll with no sound. Can anyone help?

I don't know this issue - i dont have any problem like this.
Its unlikely, but try quiting background apps such as games (double tap the home button while on the home screen, press and hold an icon until they jiggle and press the "-" on all of them). Because there have been some modifications to how background apps can run, they now seem to exessively slow the phone or reduce battery life.
Apart from that, all I can suggest is to restore. I know its not ideal but if you restore but dont restore from backup, see if the problem is solved. If it is, there is probably a rogue cache file or something in your backup which recreates the problem. If not, then its a hardware issue and you should set up a repair/take it to an Apple Store

Trying to play Audiobooks with my Creative ZE

Hi there!?I?ve downloaded a few Audiobooks from "Audible.co.uk" in format 4, and then got them into my Audible Manager program and set my device (creative ZEN Vission M), and I?ve imported them into my Device but When I try playing anyone of them a message appears: "You have no license to play this track". I have no idea about What?s going on but maybe someone down here suffered the same situation and can give me some advice. Thanks a lot.

Yes, first try deleing both songs.
If still problem
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, ,make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Problems exporting slideshow with music from iPhoto 5 to iDVD

I made a slideshow on iPhoto, and selected one Playlist with 4 tracks as backgroundmusic. When I ¨play¨the slideshow in ¨iPhoto¨ I can listen the music ( all 4 tracks), but when I ¨export¨ the slideshow or ¨send to iDVD¨, the final Quicktime movie contains all the fotos but only the first track of the Playlist.
I use Quicktime 7.1.3, iPhoto 5.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.2
Can somebody help me to find a solution...:)...? thanks...
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

this was a known problem with iPhoto 5. do you have the latest update to iPhoto 5?
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
With iPhoto 5 this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

Problem playing DRM-protected music on MuVu TX

All of my protected music (purchased through either walmart or msn music) gets skipped over when read by the player. however, when it is connected via the usb, they will play just fine (through wmp0) it was my understanding that the TX FM and both of these stores are PFS compatible? Any insight on why these won't play for me?
Also, I'm getting frustrated to the point that i'm consideriing burning all of these DRM tracks to cd and then ripping them back to my hard dri've. Since i bought them fair and square, it's cool to do this right?:smileyindifferent:
Unless anybody can tell me how to get them to play...
and oh yeah, they were originally transferred through mediasource, not dragged and dropped in explorer, so that's not the issue
Thanks for any assistance!

Janus DRM (AKA PlayForSure it seems) is used at stores like Yahoo Music Unlimited and Napster To Go, that is those stores offering subscription agreements where the file's license expires after so many days.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of!!! How can that possibly be user friendly?!
SSR wrote:
This is the problem with DRM, and doesn't lend to making it easy for customers to understand and use.
That's an understatement!!!
Thanks for all your help, both of you. I think I'll go back to my original plan of burning and then ripping back to HD. And definitely no more downloading for me...too much hassle!
