Warning! Possible iPod crashes
I have not tried the full process described in this hint. But the trick of changing the type code to "M4B " (step 3) has caused me major headaches. I found that after listening to a file altered in that way my iPod would not wake up next time it went to sleep, (I had to reset to awaken the iPod). I wasn't sure that this was why I was seeing the problem so I ended up reinstalling the iPod software and then exchanged my iPod for another one when the problem still showed up. Well, as soon as I tried one of these modified files my new iPod exhibited the same behavior. Since I stopped using files modified in this way the problem has gone away.
Warning! Possible iPod crashes
Works for me, on both audiobooks and comedy albums (which I did not want showing up when I selected "Shuffle Songs"), although I used a different process. First, I combined the tracks using this script http://www.malcolmadams.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=1#tracksplicer
I agree!
I can corroborate this based on my own personal experience.
drat, I no longer agree. :-/
I wish that corrective comment below had been submitted a few moments sooner. Looks like it's because my own AAC files are mono.

You may be right! The files that were causing me trouble are mono as well. That still shouldn't cause the iPod to freeze, but a good clue nonetheless. |
