I still haven't mastered this fine art of doing mp3 books on the apple devices. Maybe some listers with more extensive knowledge of such could help? Thanks!!! Chris Harrington

In the now playing screen, there is a button entitled "playback speed". By default, it is set to normal and will inform you of such. Double-tapping this button will set it to double, double-tapping it again will cut the speed to half the original, and double-tapping it yet again will return it to normal. I hope this in some way helps nudge you along the pathway of success!

Make sure that you have correctly edited the tag information of the files. Sometimes it can be a bit tedious, but if you're not going to convert the files to .m4b, double checking the tag information is your best bet. >> >> Hope that helps, >> Joshua >> On Oct 27, 2010, at 9:21 AM, Kimberly thurman wrote: >> >>> HI Folks: >>> >>> We have discussed this here before, but I'm having some issues with it. I want to play a folder of MP3 files, which are ripped from CD audiobooks on my iPod. I know that I must add the files to my iTunes library. I thin find them in iTunes, select them all, and do VO/shift/M and chose get info. In there I change the genre to audiobook and then go to the options tab and change it to audiobook there as well. I choose not to include while shuffling. The book then shows up in the books portion of iTunes, but the title became Unknown and the MP3 files were all in the wrong order. >>> >>> What am I doing wrong here?
