Hi yall.
I'd like to know what do I have to do to tell iTunes a song is an audiobook, so it appears in the audiobook source.
Thanks.

Depends if you have a Mac or a PC... For a PC you just change the file extension to .m4b rather than .m4a (I think that's correct). On a Mac, you have to do that and also you need to run a little script that flags the files as "protected" (at least you used to have to do that, not sure if you still do). You can find the script at a popular iTunes scripting site dougsscripts.com.
