Shuffle playback audio books out of use

• Playback speed of audio books

  I seriously think to pick up a Sansa Fuze for an Audiobok reading tomorrow, but I have a few questions that have not been adequately answered in the forums.

  I need the "rocket" to be able to support audio books MP3 function, that I myself CD rip (usually 1 file per CD).  I need to be able to accelerate playback of these files and remember the playback position of the file I am listening.

  I'm also a Mac user, so I need to be able to drag and drop.

  The "rocket" will do what I need?

  Andy

  The "rocket" has a fast setting for audibooks, but this is only about 20-25% faster, and there is no pitch correction (voice sound unnatural to use it). Some say that Rockbox (an alternative firmware for the "rocket") works better for browsing than the original firmware, however, Rockbox is not supported by Sandisk, and the use of Rockbox on a Sandisk player voids the warranty.

  I don't know any mp3 player that a quick reading of high quality with pitch correction using the original firmware. I have not yet used Rockbox, but am tempted to try one one of my players. Rockbox can destroy a player, so use it at your own risk.

  The "rocket" remembers the position of lat played in a podcast or audio book file. It can be used with a Mac.

• HELP PLEASE! I lost about 400 GB of MP4 (film and audio book) using Chkdsk files. He repaired broken sectors/files regardless, but it changed the extentions. How can I find new extensions? they are there, but I don't know how to find them.

  I have Vista Home Premium. I have a huge media collection for my ipod. I save all my video files and files on an external hard drive (my book 500 GB) audiobook while they clutter up my internal drive and so I can store them where my internal drive has failed somehow... Well I got the opposite happens. I started to get my video files would not open in their records. I ran Chkdsk utility to "fix" the files. When the program has finished running he had a Msg: something has changed the names of files and everything I was supposed to go to the files and the rear switch (as far as I can remember... I don't wear SPECIAL attention for the MSG that I thought it was normal and the program would take me to the files when it was done... ERROR. All desktop shortcuts no longer find files directly by going to my computer, then by looking at the HD I cannot find the files.  I used the program REcuva file hippo and it restores the few files that have been deleted out of the dirve and allowed to see some of the video files and audio books (but no tag info remained on the recovered files. I had to so I would like to know what they rename them). Other than these few files... less than 20 I t help either. Records that they are still there, but it asks me to open files with a program from a list of choices and not of the program draw files. (the choice to choose this high program open this type of file is also blacked out). Also when I run the cursor over the records of the size of the files do not match wat I know should be in the files. But if I just look at the my computer screen and run the cursor over the icon of the letter itself it show that there is 435 + GB hard disk info and 50 + GB of space left on it.
  A few questions:
  1. is it possible to see all the possible msg that the command chkdsk can generate so I can find that he gave me when he fixed my files?
  2 - How can I find these files if I don't know the extensions I'm looking for? they were for quicktime mp4 files, but I don't know now.
  3 - If the drive to my drive internal and try to list the backup files is located on the drive where I'd start trying to open the files?
  4 do I just need to cut my losses and reformat the hard disk, crying over 2 years, he took me to build the library and start over again >? (at least I kept some of my files from itunes library since itune on DVD about 1.5 years ago (about 300 GB of data there))
  And by the way the reader is set up to the FAT 32 format, that I did not know until this all happened.

  Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.  You should also check the box to see the system and hidden files while you're there.  This should show you the extensions of all files if that is the problem.  You can then rename the files for extensions are associated with a program that will open and read the files (you may need to experiment first with some programs to find one that works and an extension that works if they have been changed).  I don't know any way to do this for all files at once - they will have to be renamed individually (yes - I realize counts the number of files involved, but I know of no program in Vista or even a 3rd party program that will change the extensions for a group of files at a time - you can check for yourself on www.tucows.com and www.download.com).

  Desktop Shortcuts no longer work because either the file type of the source file has changed and the shortcut does not open the file, or because the file has been moved and the shortcut can not find the path.  You should be able to check the path by finding files (whatever they are now called) and see if they are in the same directories in path as they were before this happened.  I think it's because the source file works more correctly because of the extension (or corruption).

  Recuva to recover lost or deleted files - not the files that are on the system (and you won't not solve your problem by deleting them and then use Recuva to recover because it sounds like the problem is with the extensions and Recuva is not going to be able to correct it (it is not part of his program)).

  There's no list of ALL possible messages that might be generated by chkdsk I know.  Here is an article on the chkdsk command works in XP and some messages it generates - but far from everything and nothing look like the one you receive (and it works essentially the same under Vista): http://www.isd518.net/District/TechDir/Help/Chkdsk.htm.

  The backup on your internal hard disk drive will not solve the problem - just move it.  The 'damage' to the files are already done a backup now will not solve anything.  The fact that the drive is set up in format FAT32 is not the question (and probably not the question in the first place is) and change to NTFS now is not going to solve the problem (although you can do that after all this has been resolved).

  I won't tell you to cut your losses - this is a pretty drastic step and there may still be other options (although I don't know myself).  You can take the reader to a recovery expert data (NOT Geek Squad or one of these other major centres to store) which may be able to recover some, most, or all files.  It will be expensive and only you can decide if it's worth the cost.  These people usually the game fee and do not offer a guarantee of recovery - even if they don't recover anything you always pay.  The decision is yours.

  If none of this works, transfer your question in images and videos Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where people who specialize in issues related to the video may be able to help with your problem, since it's video files.

  I hope this helps.

• Do I need an additional access point to use my iPod touch for audio books? It's using iOS 9.3

  Do I need an additional access point to use my iPod touch to listen to audio books.  The iPod is on iOS 9.3 and my iMac on OS 10.11.4.  I can get the books from the library using the OverDrive Media Console software, then by moving the iTunes audio book using 'add to library '.  Then, it presents itself in music and can be downloaded from there to the iPod.  The audio book also appear in the section music from iPod.  The problem is, most of the time, no list of book sections appear on the iPod and the iPod plays sections in random order instead of sequentially.  I can't find anything in the guide of the user on audio books.

  Can you import into your application iBooks on Mac and then sync it with your iPod?

  Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please I have a problem of reading audio books on my rocket.  The problem occurs when I download audio books from my local library; the library allow it, are aware it will be downloaded to an MP3 player and no permit is required.  Most of the books are multi frame for example from 1 to 10.  I have download all 10 parts of my rocket.  Parts 1 & 2 always play without problem. When I try to play other parts 3, 4 etc. they will not play and I get a message saying: 'you can get the license by transferring the title to the device using software audiobook.  No license is required and he plays parts 1 and 2 with success.  I tried to download only 1 & 2, they play, then delete 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 download, they will not play and I get the same message.  In parts 1 and 2 of any book, I download play, the rest of the parts will not and the message above.  In the past, I managed to download books and had no problems.  I would be grateful for any help please?  Thank you.

• Audio book using Overdrive

  I love my Sansa Clip and use it for books from my local library digital overdrive.  I have a question which I hope someone can help me with.  The clip is very strong for bookmarking so I can go back and forth between books and music.  When I charge the battery all bookmarks are lost.  What I am doing wrong?

  I use my clip almost exclusively to Overdrive audio books.  Make sure that you use the Audiobook folder (prevents accidental jump before too) and also be sure to have the latest firmware update in use.  If two people are on board and after charging the battery or updating the clip you just need to go back to the book you were listening too.  It will now default to the section that you left it on and when you press play, it will ask if you want to resume or start the section.  It is only if you have the latest update in the firmware.  The latest firmware should always remember what that article you were, then he would pick up where you left it within the section.  If you have any questions about the upgrade of the firmware check the firmware update forum on this page.  The people here are great and quick to help.

• Restart of Audio books on the fuse.

  It is too difficult to restart an audiobook podcast of the fuse section +.   If you are on Chapter 20, playing music, and back, will give you the option to resume. But instead of taking the easy option at 20/25 leads to 1/10.  He will play 20 and then 1 of the last 10 files of podcasts/audiobooks played last - not the rest of the book.  To go to 21 as is again: not the thing you want to do when driving.  The other option is, when you get in the car, go to Chapter 20 (as again) and forward in time (11 of 34 minutes), select read and lock the screen, and then put the car on the road.

  1/10 in audio books has no value.  Even with a podcast I won't hear the file the same type next - step 1 of 10 of the past.

  I hesitate to say this, but the old fuse was much better.  You can play all audio books on the drive a few minutes at a time.  You can pick up a book a month later and do not have to remember the chapter.   You can also do the same thing on a podcast.  You don't need to remember what Car Talk podcast, you were the last.

  Please do not suggest buying an old gambler.  I have 4 new units.   I have two old units that wear out.  I hope the fix will come until my backup devices fail completely.

  She would also find the book 20 if album art has not shown to the left, once you have selected a book.  It is sometimes a guessing game to find the book 20.

  It's a lot less of a problem for me now.  I was tempted to remove this ad, but I well there could be someone who would love what I understand.

  This isn't the perfect solution, but it works for me.

  When I want to restart an audiobook in the podcasts section after playing on the radio. I make use of the display of the last 10 files.  It's the first thing you see when you go back to the section of the book.  The first thing I do is press the play button.  The unit will start playback of the file where I left.  While this file is read, or paused, press the back button.  Choose the book that you were playing in the list and scan the mP3 files in the book for files that have a play or mark indicating a break. Select this file.  Opt to resume playback when asked.  You are finished.

  Quick and easy with a little practice.

• 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.

• 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.

• IPod classic audio books reading and entertainment VW golf system is blurred

  An interesting problem.

  I used my 3 year old, iPod classic (160 gb) via the entertainment system in my VW Golf of 2014 without difficulty using the VW (at the time) the connector cable supplied

  Earlier this week, I have acquired a new Golf and connected the iPod to the Golf using a connection cable usb/30 pins.

  Book audio playback (my main use) is distorted (as if it runs at high speed). Music playback is fine

  However, if I connect the iPod, then select an audio track via the car's entertainment system menu, audio playback is fine.

  If I turn the engine off then come back to the iPod, playback is still blurred

  I can live with that, but it means tedious navigation through the menu in-car entertainment system whenever I log in order to get correct audio book reading.

  The adjustment of the audiobook reading speeds available through the iPod settings have no effect

  Ideas and suggestions gratefully received

  However, if I connect the iPod, then select an audio track via the car's entertainment system menu, audio playback is fine.

  Is there another way to play the audio book?  Looks like it's the normal way of playing the audio book.

• Markers of audible rewind for podcasts and audio books

  I use my Sansa Clip mainly to listen to podcasts and audio books. Sometimes when I'm listening, I can zone out and lose track of what is said, which means that I have to go back. Sometimes, I just need to go back and hear something new. Would be nice if I could go back without actually looking at the camera. Here's the feature suggestion: Add a "tick" every 10 seconds, say, rewind. In this way, we could easily rewind 10, 20, or 30 seconds or whatever, without having to look at the device.

  That would be nice, but fast forward fast/back speed is progressive.  Faster it will go any further.  If you want to go back just 10 seconds, calculate how long you must hold down the key.  "One thousand" is maybe 10 seconds and so on.

• 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.

• Audio book Formats, identification labels, etc... I do not know...

  I downloaded a number of audio books from different places and have loaded a number of them in my rocket.  Now, I found some embarrassing and frustrating problems.

  1. load and get the list under "Audiobooks" with the title of the book, where, during playback, I get:

  Author

  Title of the book

  Chapter (name, number, etc.)

  That's what I want and assume is how it should be stored and listed.

  2 other get listed under 'Audio books', but 'Unknown', where if I opened the 'Unknown' book get a number of different titles with a mishmash of ads chapter, during playback, I get:

  Author

  Unknown

  Chapter (name, number, etc.)

  Not what I want as during playback I jump of a book to another according to the titles of chapters being similar and next in numerical order... Chapter all those game before chapter two... etc...

  Any suggestions?  In one case, I have two books in a series from the same source, the same author, the title of various books.  One is like in the first example above and the other is stored as described in the second example.

  I played a bit with the ID tags without success.

  Although it shouldn't make a difference that I'm simply drag / drop in MSC mode.

  Markster,

  Thanks for the comments.  In fact I forgot to mention that I use a Mac, so the only option I have for my audio books is drag ' decline in MSC. Do you not think that it will be a problem if I convert all my tags ID3 version 2.4?  As I have this capability with iTunes.

  Thank you

  Patrice

  Not sure, Diana.  I think the "rocket" works very well with ID3v2.4 tags, but I have not experienced with that.  All what I can say is try it and see how it works for you.
