Hi John and Sieghard
I have limited download data, so how does one get the book to the iPod using
iTunes?

If you have Voice Dream, zip the files into one file. You can use
either iTunes or even better dropbox to import them into voice dream.

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

I don't know that this is less tedious, but it is necessary if you want
those files to be seen as books.
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

Hi all,
I am not sure this has been covered, but when I try to add a folder
that
has mp3 files of audio books into iTunes it gives me the ding that it has
moved it into my library but I do not see the book in my library. 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
