Why poor audio book quality on ipod?

downloaded audio book sounds fine straight off my computer, but sound quality is "rushed" and some words slurred on the nano. Any ideas?

Hi amatyat,
I had the same problem.
Select a book
Play the book
At the screen that shows the book art in the background and the play/pause symbol
in the middle with the reverse/forward symbols on the left and the right, advance one
screen beyond this to the screen that allows you to slide forward or backward in the
book. Look to the middle of the screen, on the right. There's a tiny symbol that says
either 1x, 2x or 3x. Tap this symbol until it reads 1x or the voice sounds normal.

Can I sync my audio books from my iPod touch onto iTunes on my computer using only my computer?? My iPod is MIA, could have been stolen.

I'm trying to determine whether or not I can import audio books from my iPod to my computer using only my computer. I purchased said audio books through the same iTunes account on my iPod that I have on my computer. I can't sync manually from my iPod because I haven't been able to locate it in weeks!! Is it possible to use only my laptop?

The music sync is one way only - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

You can't convert it yourself. What does the audiobook's description page in the store say. does it say that it's in English in German ? You can try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Trying to get a audio book onto my ipod gen 2 , not appearing

Trying to get a audio book onto my ipod, doesn't seem to want to download

Heather,
Can you first verify that you have configured the iPod to sync audiobooks from your iTunes library? To do this, plug the iPod into your computer, and then when it appears in iTunes, select it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This shoud bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.
Now in the main section/window of iTunes look for the Books tab along the top and click on it. Under this tab you can configure how and what audiobooks are synced to your device. Before making any changes, first verify that the Sync Audiobooks option is ticked at the very top.
If you do make any changes from under this tab, be sure to click the Apply button in the lower right to sync the updates changes to the iPod.

Audio Books Unorganized on iPod

In the past I've been able to have several audio books on my iPod and have them be organized by book then by chapter but today when I added a second audio book it's organized by chapter first mixing the two books. I was wondering if iTunes version 10 changed something?
Thanks

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

I know that. The question is why, when every other media that is sold on iTunes is there.
Becasue the audiobook distributors do not allow Apple do offer this.

I was listening to Audio Books on my iPod Touch in the car when the speed changed to fast forward on all the audio books. How do I correct this?

I was listening to Audio Books on my iPod Touch while on a motor trip when the speed of the playback suddenly changed to fast forward for all the stored audio books. How can I correct this?

Actually found this answer in the archives: When the audio book is playing, hold finger on middle of screen until the speed selection message appears and change from 2x to 1x. Thanks for your response though!

Copying an audio book to an ipod

is it possible to just copy an audio book from a school computer onto my ipod and have it work? I don't want to sync my ipod to the school's computer but would like to be able to have the audio book on my ipod so I can listen to the book at home.

It depends up the format of the audio file and if it has DRM. If DRM then no. Othrewise yu have to play it with an applicable app or something depending upon the format. If small enough you can email it.

Why does audio books list by chapter instead of books?

Why does audio books list by chapter instead of by book ?

Perhaps I should have given more detail. The device works the way it works. Listing every chapter is part of the normal behaviour, and often not in a useful order which is the main thrust of that article. However it does point out that you can use one of the various free/cheap tools available to stitch the individual files into a single audiobook file which is what iDevices really expect to receive.
Alternatively you could use a smart playlist which matches a particular title and only includes files with a play count of zero to make it easier to locate the current chapter. I don't recall ever trying this so I'll have a go and see how it works out.

Some find the mobile device transfer confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. 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.

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

The problem may have been in how you transfered it. You didn't go into much detail. Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below. Note Paragraph 5.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.

For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

Changes to audio book import / general iPod accessibility

I find it really frustrating that I had to pay for 3rd party software to be able to easily put CDs of audio books into the Audio Books folder of iTunes and my iPod. Why doesn't Apple address this issue in their next iTunes update?
Sarah
PS. Are there any products that would make an iPod more accessible to visually impaired people, perhaps by speaking the names of albums etc as you scroll down?

Audio Books Wont show up in audio books on my ipod.

Why does my audiobooks show up in Audio books in Itunes,but shows up in music on my ipod. Is ther any way I can straighten this out. I have tried everything, is there an issue with this, or can it be fixed by doing something simple.

Look at the file extension of one of the audiobooks you're talking about. If it ends with *.m4p then it reads as music in the Ipod. Follow the path "MyDocument, MyMusic, ITunes and in your ITunes folder change the extension to *.m4b then reload it into your Ipod. That should do the trick. I downloaded a ton of "This American Life" from ITunes and that was the problem.
