I've already located all the book files and removed them to my Victor Reader Stream but I'm going to hang on to this for the next time so your efforts won't be in vane.
Thanks so much for this! ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2013 11:26 AM Subject: RE: Audio Book In Music Folder In Iphone5? Hi Alan, If you have MP3 books that sync to your music library all you have to do is find the book, highlight the file (or files if it is comprised of more than 1 file), then press Control+I for "Get Info". Say Yes to the prompt asking if you want to edit multiple items. Now arrow right to the Options tab, tab I think it is 3 times until you get to "Media Kind". This is a drop down and if you select Audio Books instead of Music and press OK all the audio book files will disappear from the music library and reappear in the Books library. Alternatively you could use a program like Chapter and Vers on a Windows PC. Put all the MP3 files of a book into one folder, click "Add Files, browse to the folder and select all the files with Control+A then click OK. Chapter and Vers will convert all the MP3 files into the M4B format iTunes uses for audio books and, if you want, combine them all into one file afterwards. You can still navigate the audio book with Next and Previous in the new combined format and whatever the file intervals were will be your navigation unit. If each chapter of the book was in a separate file, you can navigate the new book by chapter. If the book has only one or a few very long files you can tell Chapter and Vers to set a break every 30 minutes, every 60 minutes or whatever you want. After the conversion and combining the files the program will even ask you if you want to add the finished book to iTunes. Just keep in mind that you should set your conversion settings to a not so high bitrate, if you leave it at the iTunes Plus bitrate of 256 Kbps you end up with a huge file with no real quality benefit, I typically find 64 or 96 Kbps is quite sufficient for an audio book and it depends of course on what the original MP3 file was ripped at. Chapter and Vers is from Loden Software and it's free, just google Chapter and Vers and you'll find it easily.

If the book is in mp3 format, it will get copied over just like if it were any other CD album. How do I know? Found out the hard way. And the book was helter-skelter through my music collection. I was able to delete the audio book files on my computer and just did a sync with my iPhone but I would of liked to had listened to the book on my iPhone. ----- Original Message ----- From: Fazil To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 8:40 AM Subject: Audio Book In Music Folder In Iphone5? Hi, list. I have an audio book in my music folder in my pc. It is a long book about 18 hours of duration with a very low bit rate. Now my music is transferred to myIphone5. Should I assume that this audio book is there too, or Iphone5 might have ignored it when importing other stuff because of its low bit rate? Your help is much appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________ Thanks! Regards, Fazil.
