kind of audio book

Sansa clip. using a pc. Windows xp. My sansa clip is a 4 GB, black.

Help Sansa people told me how to change the kind of AUDIO book, but it must be a track at a time.

I'm about to rip 6 audio books that are about 900 titles.

He's crazy about change 900 titles like one at a time. Someone knows better. I really want one to be audiobook.

HELP Please thanks a lot, Mel

The answers seem to be well informed and thoruogh and are appreciated. However, your suggestion seems to be the easiest. No additional software to learn, etc. I am using windows media player and have not yet taken my first successful playlist.

You have time to give me more explicit instructions as to when and how to put it in the folder of audio books on the reader.

By the player, that you mean Windows Media Player or do you mean the device clip?    Thanks Mel

  • Sort order for multi-CD audio books

    Hello world. I read through some past discussions on the sorting of tracks and albums and have not been able to solve my problem. I have a 12 CD Audiobook; each CD has 99 tracks (ugh). All are taken from my computer and copied on a 8 GB MicroSDHC card. Sorry for the long post; hoping to capture as much detail as possible. My OS is Win XP. It is a rocket 4 GB with the troublesome file stored on 8 GB MicroSDHC card. Rocket is set to MTP and I moved the files via Windows Explorer... trained on my hard drive to the SDHC card (I did this twice; once while he was in the rocket and once while it is in the card reader).

    I used MP3Tag as follows:

    • File name AND title are on: book title disc 01 track 01, sequential numbering up to book title 01 99 of track record. Then we begin with the title of the book disc 02 track 01, etc all the way as a book drive 12 track 99
    • In MP3Tag, I used the Auto numbering Assistant to number the headings, including leading zeros, as 0001/1188 (this change has been made while the card was in the "rocket"; the first passage to the numbering on the hard disk, added only one zero, and I thought that could be the problem, so I ran the wiz autodial again while the card was in the "rocket").
    • Contributing artist, artist and Album name are the SAME (no drive included number) for each 12 discs... use MP3Tag to achieve
    • Removed the YEAR and the DISCNUMBER using MP3Tag.
    • All tracks are marked by the kind of AUDIO book (again using MP3Tag). They appear in the correct order on the hard drive of my computer, and read the SD via Windows Explorer, they appear in the correct order. However, when I browse audio books on my rocket, the sort order is out of whack. Systematically, it starts with title of book disc 11 track 11, is moving forward to drive 12, 99 of track, then disc 01, track 01. The rest seems to be in the right order.
    • Shots from the top of the window of MP3Tag, the file (in order) as the "rocket" 'sees' the first track (1001 to follow in the order, so it is important) screen my choices of dialogue can be seen here:

    Other audio books are marked in this way and appear in the correct order... but none of the others has more than 9 discs. Thanks for all the ideas. It drives me crazy! : PEI

    Just an update... as suggested by miltst, I made some changes on the base (on my HD) and then copied to the SD card files. The only changes I made were to change the numbering DO NOT track to track the total number of titles; I even added zeros. Once I moved their map SD, the sort order is correct. Hooray! Don't know what did - change the HD or changing the numbering of the beaches, but whatever it is, it works.

    Thank you!

  • audio book

    Perhaps a bit complicated, so I'll try to break it down into bitesized as follows:

    1 ripped an audiobook 11 CDs for my Macbook Air. Enjoying listening to viaiTunes game as a medium of Spoken Word, using iTunes game to enjoy in my car via my iPad or iPhone
    2. Decides that it would be cool to have it as an audio book, then he would remember from there where I did play
    3. on my MAC MINI (NOT my MBA), I've selected all MP3 300 - ish and then makes a command-I, added my album art, went to Options, Audiobook selected as media type and reclassified

    4. (I wanted to download the files to iCloud on my MacMini, where my iTunes library backup on an external hard drive, but for some reason it wouldn't download.) But like a fool I advanced and reclassified all the files in a single audio book.)

    5. after reclassification the book, I got a screen advising me that audio books can now be heard exclusively in iBooks.
    6. my newly combined audiobook is not in iBooks, or longer as mp3s in iTunes on my Mac Mini. It is still there on my MBA, merged, unreclassified in audio book.
    7. I want to listen to that tomorrow - what should I do? Where IS the book now? How can I listen in iBooks? If I had known this pain in the * it was going to be, obviously I would never have clicked on 'Audiobook' Media type...

    Thanks in advance.

    Change back the kind of media to music. Assuming you are using iTunes game items should appear in your music library to iCloud again.

  • iTunes 12.4 does not display audio books when I select Watch books

    The kind of media drop-down menu has only a selection of books. It shows my books. When I do a search for one of my books, he shows up and then all of my audio books appear. I return to the music and then go back to the books and audio books have disappeared. Discover the audiobooks menu (ctrl + 6) has the same behavior.

    Select the source of books in your library, and then change the list of sections that appear. The Word change appears when you place the cursor in the right place. Click to make changes, and then click done when finished. Allowing audiobooks should fix things for you.

  • Audio books

    I used the same method of sorting for Audio books for about 11 years. What iOS left their MUSIC for iBooks which sorting method has been put out of use. Is it possible to keep my Audio books in MUSIC rather than having to redo the sort for iBooks?

    I have an iPhone of aging 5 c and is trying to get a 6 s or SE this fall. I find iBooks a lot to read, but less than dog for listening to Audio books.

    You cannot change the behavior on iOS. You can change the media kind of back in iTunes if you wish. See also the audiobooks on the iPod. With metadata good audiobooks should group and sort properly in the iBooks app.

  • Audio books are in 2 places on iTunes

    A summarized set of audio books are in my iTunes Playlist "On My Device', those who would be those that I recently added. A more complete list, more than 700 books, are included in the summary of the topic audiobooks to iTunes. Unfortunately, when I check the books I want to download on my iPod, it accesses books from two sources and one in the Audible icon and the other place in the icon the playlist of music on my iPod.

    Using Win7, v64, HPTouchSmart610.  iTunes 12.0.12.6 iPod Nano

    I was wondering if my download folder is directing the iTunes Media incorrectly, that happened when we converted the last pc. I had to correct all these books by hand (which was tedious, but necessary).  Also look for iPad and iPhone, but do not use those 5 sec sound

    This problem has arisen in the last three months.  (BTW, we've never used "Sync only checked songs and videos" and create Playlists to manage content).

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Where an asset appears in iTunes is determined by the media Type setting for each item.  Audio files from an external source (imported into iTunes) can get imported as songs (music), as iTunes does not know that they are audio books.  I do not understand your description of the problem, but if some of your audio books in your library of iTunes, not your library of books music audio iTunes, that's the problem.  And they will also appear on the iPod as songs, when synchronized.

    If you have a large number of audio books that appear in your library iTunes music, a convenient way to fix them all at the same time is to create a new playlist and add all the audio books (which are currently considered songs) to the playlist.  In the playlist, select any item and do a select all (Ctrl-A keyboard OR menu bar Edition-> select All).  Right-click on the selection and information.  On the window information from several element, click the Options tab.  Change media kind in audiobook, then OK.  All selected items should now appear in your audiobooks to iTunes library.

    NOTE: Depending on how sync you media on your iPod, you may need to remove affected audio books on your iPod first and then re - add (after they are ordered by iTunes as audio books).

    If you are not able to change the Type of media, please after return.

  • Audio book in failure

    First time in the display, so if I did something wrong I will apologize. I tried to solve this problem through other e-mails and tips etc, so kind of tired.

    I tried to review some of the related posts, but still, it doesn't make sense as to what went wrong.

    Here's the question:

    I have a Sansa Fuze 4 GB, aged from a few months and it has worked perfectly! I use it mainly download audio books from my library using Overdrive Media Console software. I quickly learned after useful comments how to load books into the Audiobook folder properly and they run a lot! So the long and short of it is that I decided that I would like to buy one for my mother. I downloaded a book for her in mine to give it a try and BINGO, it is upwards! Nothing is different, same settings, same download location, same format file and instead, the book appears 8/8, rather than 1/8. When it comes to the end, instead of moving forward, he's going to pause, then stops. I removed and loaded again and the same thing. In the meantime, however, I had downloaded a book for me and that was very good and I'm listening with no problems. It's what makes no sense. I tried to download the other 2 books, and again, I have the same problem in the mess. I read on the tag information, but they are WMA files and also I never had any problems. Everything has always been great, but not now.

    I hope that gives you enough information. Have to get it resolved or I'll take hers because she can't deal with any kind of technical frustration.

    .wma files too have tags. And if a man does not have track numbers, they do not play in the right order. This book was obviously mislabelled.

    You can edit the tags (same .wma tags) with mp3tag.

  • Audio book player FM transmitter

    I just started listening to audiobooks in the car. The car has only a radio, with no input cassette, cd, usb or auxiliary. For the last book, I bought a cheap on Amazon player who got me through LoTR and dies just as I started to the Appendix. Assumed that his life was bound to the ring after all. The method I used: split the files into 200 second increments. This meant that I don't have to listen too after I arrived to my final destination of the file. It worked but it was heavy. I want a better solution.

    Find an mp3 player/fm transmitter remebers the last position seems almost impossible. So the best following route seems to be for the purchase of these two components separately. In other words, an mp3 player and an fm transmitter. Of course, the mp3 player would need to remember the last position so that it is worth, and the beam doesn't have to break the Bank.

    SanDisk came in my search and I know of others that Sandisk has a few decent players. I see a few different models, it's good, but I have not seen a simple comparison chart of features and cost. It's then that I came across these forums to ask for help from the experts here, they should be so kind.

    Sandisk players are good for audio books? In other words, they can easily (and automatically) remember the last position. And is it a good fm transmitter for her in the car? Someone at - it such a facility, and if I may ask, how much the costume cost?

    SanDisk has proved to be used in the audio books. I would suggest that you go for it.

  • Audio-books sorted by title.

    All my writings and half of the classic audio books I have download for free are not playing in the right order on the fuse +.  I loaded the book of Mormon.  He played first in the introduction section.  The first file is 1Nephi Chapter 1.  The next is not 1Nephi Chapter 2.  This is chapter 10.   The same issues are seen in the Old Testament.    If I load the first few books I get Deuteronomy and exodus before Genesis.  Also, I get the chapters 1, 10, 19, 2, 3 and 4.

    Fuse + seems to sort the audio/podcast books by title.  If the same books are moved to the section of the fuse music + they play in order.  Maybe this section uses the name of the file or folder.

    http://lds.org/mp3/display/0, 18692, 5297-62, 00.html is the place for test files.

    The old fuse doesn't have this problem.  I suggest you copy the same files to each player.  The Old Testament has 1 003 files.

    It would be nice if you could hold the arrow down for 3 seconds and force the reader to jump 20 files per second for the first ten seconds and 50 entries a second from here on out.

    I have thought that the fuse + resorted file by file name, once you have moved the music podcast file.  I was wrong. It replaces the title with the name of the file.  That is why all the books I've downloaded in the past 5 months have played perfectly after I moved it.  I looked at one of the books I moved and the titles exactly the same as the name of the file.  We have the fixer title lazy perfect in the reader.  That's why I'm sure that books with the incorrect file names is a mythical creature.

    If the fuse + sort of audio books / podcast by file by file name and display the title, all the files that I have would play perfectly and the title would not have to be fixed to play.  I noticed at 80% of my books have titles that are ok now.  It was the 20 percent that was originally 80% of my pain of sort.

    I saw a player who sorts MP3 files by file name and displays the title.  It's the fuse.  It is in the music section.  How do you think that it should be applied that logic to the book section on the next firmware updated?

    I also discovered an easier way to get my files will appear in the podcast section without having to move them.  I changed the kind of all my books in podcast.  This causes my resident book in the music folder and play the podcast menu.  So more than this is 80% of the books that I load using WMP (Windows Media Player) to play in order and creative titles do not have to be deleted or affected.    When I want to see all the books on my player I look into the kind of podcast using WMP.  If the tiles are not perfect, I have to move it and let the person who reads the book tell me the titles.

    Still seriously, I hope someone will take me to the top by looking at the album section for the design of the next section of audio book.  As I said 'Audiobook in Album view', the design of the section is ideal.  I agree that it would be good to keep the music and audiobook is menus separate.  Once the audiobook sections is reworked podcasts will have their own sections.  The first layer of the new audio book section would be identical to the podcast section. The next layer is where the magic happens.

    Please, please, please, someone look at section album and comment, please.

  • Creating audio books

    Hi people,

    I am creating an audiobook. I have already registered and modified and created MP3s files, but now I need to merge them into one big file, yet maintain the separate tracks and chapter names. Then maybe save it in audio book format.

    I'm brand new on hearing and it is a bit overwhelming.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Well, I mainly use Audacity. I was told I would be able to convert these files using hearing, that's why I bought it. I have the Audacity files. Wouldn't be easier just to start them? The main concern is to be able to have a big file, but still have tracks separated with Chapter information.

    I don't know who told you that the hearing would do this, but they were wrong. Ordinary MP3 files, which creates hearing, do not support the markers or any kind of information of the chapter in standard - that's what you need the audio book creation software. Hearing is, of course, significantly higher than Audacity in a lot of ways, but I fear that the realization of audio books is not one of them.

    What it does however, is working with the wav files to native mode. WAV files support markers and a much more 'normal' approach to the creation of audio books is to convert those properly, but as I said, this is not mandatory. There are all kinds of different pieces of software available to help you, but it is really not what you want to end up with.

  • iTunes deleted 12.5.1.21 options of reading audio books

    Just updated iTunes to version 12.4.3.1 on Windows 10 PC 12.5.1.21

    Before the update, there are two options for reading audio books: remember the playback position and jump when brewing.  (to find these, select Get info on the audio book and choose the tab options).

    In the new update, these two check boxes have been removed. I hope that the answer is because there is little (or not) users who wouldn't never want these options, and the developers of iTunes just hardcoded these options in the metadata file.

    So what is the reason for their removal? If the options are always available at the place where have they been moved?

    I see these options, but cannot change them and the media type is set to Audiobook. Setting Media type for music and applying, then find the article, options and change the type of media to Audiobook works but is a bit lengthy. Use iTunes Feedback or Apple Bug Reporter to Apple let know.

  • I can't get an audio book to transfer to my ipod7

    How can I transfer an audio book to my ipod nano 7 of my main computer

    If you want to use the Auto Sync (instead of dragging the items to iPod manually in iTunes), find the iPod touch device in iTunes.  The screenshot below shows the upper left corner of my iTunes window, with touch iPod in red circle

    Click this buttonto display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, in the sidebar, under settings, click on audio books.  To the right, the parameters of audiobooks on the iPod screen.

    Check the box of the books audio Sync.  This enables the automatic synchronization of audio books.  You can choose to synchronize all of the audio books, or a part of the selection .  Implement this screen as you want, and then click apply.  Go ahead, iTunes automatically updated iPod when you connect (or click sync , if already connected), to keep 'in phase' with your library of audio books (or the selected part).

    NOTE: If you want songs to be on the iPod too, in the sidebar of the iPod, under settings, click on music.  Similarly set up screen settings of music from iPod (and apply).
