Force audiobooks to display in iTunes 7

Good find. I have updated Make Bookmarkable, the script mentioned, to delete and re-add each converted track. Additionally, play counts, rating, last played date, skip count, and skipped date will be preserved.

Force audiobooks to display in iTunes 7
Authored by: mr.quinn on Sep 15, '06 09:18:21AM

How about if I want to do the opposite ?

I have several hundred recordings of radio shows, recorded by Audio Hijack, saved as "Bookmarkable". (I do this because they are two hours each and it is nice to be able to carry on where you last left off. This setting makes the tracks "Remember Playback Position").

I have other ones which are a whole album in a single file, with 'Chapters' to identify each track.

The first set are .m4a files, the second .m4b. In Info/Summary, iTunes incorrectly calls them all "Protected AAC".

Since updating to iTunes 7, these music tracks annoyingly appear in the AudioBooks section and I would like a way to have them back in the Music section.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Guess I'll have to update Make UN-Bookmarkable, too.

Doug,

Two suggestions for improving this script.

1) Add the convert to aac step.

2) Rename the script to Convert to Audiobook.
