Hello Richard Thanks for this. It sounds a much easier way to listen with voice DreamReader. Regards Fanus

When you impoort mp3 files into iTunes, it assumes they are music. So, depending on how the files are tagged, you may find them under artist, title, unknown, etc. in the music folder. With iTunes 12, I find this whole process a bit more challenging than it was before. You can search for the book in the music library, then if your search gets you all the files, you can right click and select get info. You will then need to change the "kind" from music to audio book. You will also have choices of skip when shuffling, remember your place, which you want if it is a book. If the files are not tagged correctly, you may find chapters out of order. Remember, iTunes does not care what the file names are, it sorts only by the internal tagging. I believe folks on this list have recommended software that can make the tagging and all that much easier, but I don't recall what the name was. Personally, if I want to listen to an audio book that is in mp3 format, I now use VoiceDream Reader. With VoiceDream, you simply need to make sure the files are named in such a way that they will be sorted in order, add them all to a zip file with the zip filename the name of the book. Add the zip file to dropbox, and use VoiceDream to import the zip file. When it is done, you will have a book that is named whatever the zip file was named, and each file will be treated as a chapter in the book. It works fabulously. HTH, Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

I know if I combine all the files into 1 big file and then try to transfer it into iTunes it works just fine, but that is so time consuming. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this less tedious I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Sharon -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
