Rename Audio Book Tracks to File Name

I can't find a fix for this anywhere so please help!
I've imported my wife's audio books from 15 cds. The difficulty is that the tracknames cannot be sorted into the right order except by sorting by creation date (I imported them sequentially). This is no use on her iPod Nano that forgets where it was. I've managed to change the actual filenames in the Finder into a proper series (with R-Name). How can I make the track names the same as the filenames on iTunes?
Please help…most her books have 150 to 190 odd tracks (Jane Austen).
Thanks
James

I have a 56 folder audiobook of Les Miserables. Every folder has filenames that are identical: Disk 01>Les Miserables - 01.mp3. I am not willing to rename them all - thats just stupid. I listen to audiobooks all the time and this wouldbe my whole life. How do I sort these on itunes and put them into files in my iphone music library? Without folders to organise things, I dont see how people can tolerate iphones. Am I missing something or is the interface really as limited as it seems?

Playing Imported Audio Books - tracks won't play in order - why?

I import a lot of Audio Book CDs into my iPod Touch for convenience.
The problem is that although the tracks import in order, are correctly named and play in order from iTunes on the PC they almost never play in order on my IPod Touch, Ipod Classic or iPhone.
The Ipod just seems to shuffle playing order. I have disabled shuffle. The iPod is not automatically shuffling due to shaking.
How do I get the tracks to play in the correct orderr.

Here are some hints and guidelines for labeling and organizing audiobooks in iTunes.
Click on the first file of the audiobook imported files list. Press and hold down the “Shift” key while doing so. While you continue to hold this key down, press the down arrow on your keyboard repeatedly until all of the files (chapters) for the first audiobook are selected. At the last file of the first audiobook, click your left mouse button once. You will see all the files from the first to last file highlighted.
Go back into the “File” menu on iTunes and click on “Get Info.” This will bring up a menu of settings you can apply to the highlighted files. Click on the “Options” tab in the settings menu that appears. Make sure the media type is selected as “audiobook.” Next to “Remember position” the option of “Yes” should be indicated.
Next you’ll want to properly label the audiobook audio files. Click on the “Info” tab and fill out relevant information you want to include on the filenames for easy access. Under “album name” put the name of the book and under “artist name” put the name of the author.
Save the settings. Click on “Audiobooks” in the long left hand side menu in iTunes. This should be in the upper left hand area. You will see a list of your newly renamed audiobook files to the right hand side.
Right click on each file individually starting with the first file of the audiobook. Click “Get Info” and under the “Name” section enter “Chapter 01” and repeat this process for each track going in order changing the chapter number by one number higher each time. Chapters 1 through 9 must have a zero before the primary number such as Chapter 01 and Chapter 09.
When you are finished the audiobook will not only be in the proper track order which allows you to play the chapters in order, but the audiobook will be labeled and easy to find.

ITunes wont recognise Audio CD Track format files (No answer in Archive)

I have a 60GB iPod. Have downloaded the latest iTunes and iPod drives. I usually copy all songs on a spare removable mass storage disk drive, and then add the entire folder made up of hundreds and hundreds of songs.
Now. All songs with MPEG format, and the ones that already have names somewhat, as long as it is not named with Track, do get recognized and get applied in iPod. But no songs named Track and a serial number, that is in Audio CD Track format do. They get instantly copied, as they are 1KB each, both in CD and where they are copied. But nothing more than that happens. It wont be played in Windows Media Player neither. I renamed it from Track to anything else, thinking perhaps in an attempt to keep files organised iTunes deliberatly doesnt recognizes them, but that didnt worked also. The songs can be played from the CD, but arent recognized when they are copied on a disk.
How do I put the songs named Track with Audio CD Track format on my iPod. Thanks in advance.

VMT,
I'm not an expert but will try to help you. From this article I found audible files cannot be burned on MP3 format (at least that's what I think it's saying).
Check it out:

Here's how to make a high quality audio CD:

Audio book player and file transfer

I recently purchased an ipad mini iOS 7.04. I would like to know if I can transfer my audio books (mp3) from my PC to my ipad and if I can how do I go about it. Also what is the audio book app to use.
Thank you

When you are publishing to MobileMe, the root folder is iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites. If you have only one site in iWeb, the external version of the index.html file is published to this location.
If you have two or more sites on one Domain file then the index.html file for the top site will be present in Web/Sites.
The situation becomes more complicated if you publish two or more sites on Separate Domain files as the last index.html uploaded overwrites the previous one. This is what cause problems if one of the sites has a personal domain name.
iWeb was designed to make the website creation process as simple as possible so, the idea of uploading media files to the Media is sound in theory. In practice, we know that this is mostly useless as these music and movie files have to download with the other page files in the browser. Also they require the QuickTime plugin to play them and about 60% of PC users don't have it.
Flash players are going to be necessary for a long time to come unless the vast majority of PC users update to IE V9 or switch to a browser that actually works. My hope is that, when Google Chrome comes out of beta, it will take over as the number one browser simply because it has the Google name. I'm using it more and more because its way faster than Safari and Safari 5.0.2 has too many problems.

CD songs load as Audio book tracks. How can I get them into music library?

Greetings.
Strange. Some songs I've imported into iTunes from CDSs load into the Audiobooks folder. I can't drag them into the music folder. In one case, one song from one CD - but not any of the others - will only import as an audiobook. I can't even import it from my
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can get the songs into the music library?
Thanks.

In iTunes 8:
Select Track(s) > right click > get info
Options tab > Media Kind
if you want the track to appear in Music select Music or Audiobook if you want it in the Audiobook tab.
It's also useful to set the Genre of audio books to something common (spoken, audiobook etc)

I have audio books as mp3 files. They will not play on our Ipad. Is there a conversion I need to do?

We have audio books that are converted to mp3 files. They will not play on our 2-year old Ipad. What can I do to make them compatible?

Hi - what I neglected to include in the question is that the book was uploaded on Google Drive. It sounds like I will need to make the book a playlist and upload it.
Thank you for the response.

Mp3 will not rename - reverts back to original file name. Any suggestions?

I have a bunch of mp3 files that I would like to rename the original file name. Itunes only allows me to change metadata, but to fix broken names and keep organized, I need to change the file name. Once I rename the file, it shows the new name, and then upon playing it, it reverts back to the original name. I do not have any locked permissions. I have parallels and tried to rename them on the windows 7 side but same effect. I tried to shut all programs off so the file was not in use. I even tried to export it as a acc file type. I am exhausted looking for a solution, this is why I am using this forum as a last ditch effort. Please help.

As far as I am aware, iTunes does not rename files (at least nto my older version I use). Yes, it will insist upon the files being in certain folders which is structured from the metadata, but the files themselves keeep whatever name you use.
I suggest this be moved to an iTunes forum (you choose for Mac or for Windows). I have never seen anybody else complain about this in the past.
One question, do you subscribe to Match? Is there anything else using these files, some third party software?

How do i save audio books to a file then delete from phone

How do I save an audio book to file then delete from my Iphone.

Perhaps he wants to free up space on the iPhone. The audio Books are a single download purchase, meaning you can't download them again for free.

Putting audio book tracks in order

I have put an audio book from a cd onto my iPod mini. I am trying to figure out how to be able to listen to the tracks in order. I have eventually renumbered them so from disk to disk the numerical order remains. I have numbered the tracks from 01-120. When I go to listen to the book on the iPod, the tracks are all scrambled. I'm very new with this "toy" and need to know the secrets! Thanks for any help.

I think I have it solved. "It ain't pretty, but it'll do..." I did, indeed, discover that I had to disable the party shuffle option. Then I renumbered the tracks so that instead of each disk beginning with #1, I started where the last disk left off. So disk #2 began with Track 18 and disk #3 began with Track 35. Then I figured out how to create the smart playlist! So now each of the books shows up all together as one playlist, in order, and I think that'll solve the problem. At least it isn't in the order where all the Track 1's are together and all the Track 2's and so forth. It takes quite awhile to get the book transferred to the iPod but at least I can do it. IF there is an easier way, I sure would like to figure that out! Thanks for the suggestions!

Audio book tracks run together

I have transferred audio books to iTunes and then to my iPod and the tracks run together at the very end of each track. How do I solve this?

Thanks for the reply.
I probably should have mentioned that the audio book music type is not set to audio book. For all intents and purposes the way I have my books set should make them no different from a normal music album (just with a much higher number of tracks in most cases). If this had been my first time importing an audio book cd/download I may be more inclined to try a 3rd party software to help resolve the issue, however my books used to play fine, as albums, for several years over the course of several ipods and are just now giving me this issue.
I did make an attempt in my own troubleshooting to change one of the problem books' music type to audio book. This did nothing more then move the book out of my normal library view and hide it under the audio book category. The issue of each track acting as it's own album did not change.

Unable to burn iTunes Store audio book track to CD - Track to long

I am unable to burn an audio book I purchased to CD because the track is to long, 2 hours and 8 minutes. I tried setting the start and stop times to be less than 1 hour, but I still get the message. How can I get the track burned to a set of CDs?

I found a work around.
1. Select the long track and using get info
2. Set the start and stop times and check the check boxes next to them.
3. Create a new play list of the selected track.
4. Burn a CD using the new playlist.

Audio book track titles are dates

I have several audio books that the tracks are dates but iTunes is not organizing them by the dates. Is there a way to organize them by the title as the date?

Audio books tracks

I have had some co-workers download a few audio books from the iTunes music store.
When they downloaded the book it came as one long track. Are all the audio books like that? Or do they download with each chapter being a track?
If they do download as one track how does it work with burning to CD? It would be a pain to have a audio book on CD and not be able to skip forward to the next chapter.
I am very unfamiliar with how audio books work from the iTunes music store so if anyone can give some insight, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

TS1362 Audio book speed ipod

When an audio book downloads to my computer the sound levels and speed of narration is brilliant, however when I then download to my ipod, the speed of the narration goes double quick time. How can I resolve this please?

hello,
if you want to have your audio book shown in the audio book section of your ipod, firstly need to know what an audio book in itunes is. if you load down the audio book from the itms, it's automaticly in the right file type. this file type is either called .m4b (from itms) or .aa (from audible.com). all what you need to do is renaming the ends of the file names from m4a to m4b. if you'll copy it now on the ipod it will be shown in the audiobook folder. but there will be ALL the titles of the audiobook. if you load down an audiobook from the itms, it's just one long title. so you need to kit all the titles together. myself i'm making that with the lil program MediaJoin, which you just can look for in google.com. there you can kit all the audio files to one big file. the ipod supports the bookmark function, what means, if you hear your audio book, then you hear music and you later wanna hear the audiobook at the self part of it, the ipod goes automaticly to this part.
I'm sorry for my bad english, I am a german pupil... but i hope i could help you
