I have always loved listening to audio books especially when I am traveling. The Trade Union conference season is coming up and that means several long train journeys. On some of these I will be a loan traveller, so tonight I have been trying to configure iTunes to accept my audio CD's as audio books rather than treating them as music.
This is important because I want the device to remember where I was up to when I tune in next time. I have cracked that bit at least, although I have one or two other issues to iron out...
When I have got all the books copied across I can connect it up to my car and the books should play seamlessly without the need to change CDs. The end of a disc always seems to happen a couple of minutes after a journey starts. Complicated!!!
I am indebted to this guy for his excellent tutorials.

Seems like a good idea'
I enjoy audio books when I'm ironing. I like radio 7 too. I am impressed with your technical know-how.
Ah I have a few aufiobooks which have gone to the music index rather than audiobooks. I'll have to look at teh tutorial
Aileni - Thank You, I am copying them across slowly!
Liz - I had to get the advice from the blog I linked too!
Jams - First you have to have audio books turned on in your library then copy them across as per the tutorial. The first one is a little fiddly but it gets easy after that.
You are clever, being able to do all that! Do you have a favourite audio book?
Welshcakes - For a novel it has to be 'Lord of the Rings'. For fact it is probably 'This Sceptered Isle'
I have never tried an audio book.... but think i would like too .... will have to see if there are any free ones about to try :-)
