Audio Books, iTunes & Mini's Oh My!!!!!

[Kamikaze]

Hello,
I have weird problem that I thought you could help me with....
In my iTunes library I have two audio books. I have them checked to sync with my iPod Mini (32gb A-Data CF). I can "see" them grayed out under my iPod but they are not showing in my "Audio Books" area on my Mini. I have the audi books part turned on in the iPod settings. The books are in my music list under the artist.
Any ideas?

Thanks

The true meaning of "audiobook"

In my iTunes library I have two audio books. I have them checked to sync with my iPod Mini (32gb A-Data CF). I can "see" them grayed out under my iPod but they are not showing in my "Audio Books" area on my Mini. I have the audi books part turned on in the iPod settings. The books are in my music list under the artist.

iTunes and the iPod/iPhone have a very specific idea of what constitutes a "true" audiobook, and only tracks which fit those specific criteria will appear in the Audiobooks source list on either.

I've written extensively about this topic on my weblog:

• iTunes and Audiobooks is an overview of the issue
• Instructions for importing Audio CD and MP3 CD audiobooks into iTunes
• A series of FAQs on exactly this topic

And more besides. Hope this helps!
