Force audiobooks to display in iTunes 7
Authored by: cliffyp on Sep 18, '06 09:02:21PM

Thanks for all the input guys. I have audio files that have the m4a extension. I used doug's script and nothing changed. I deleted the tracks from iTunes, then quit iTunes and re-imported the files back to iTunes. None of this has had any impact. Anyone have any ideas?

Cliff: are your files located on a FileVault protected home directory? Or are the files in any other way protected?

Totally agree. I cant find my other post, but the script doesnt do anything to my AAC files. I have tried every technique, etc.

My files are not protected, I encoded them using apples AAC codec, and they only allow for automatic settings, so its pretty straight forward.

Here may be the issue...
My CD, I believe had something called gracenotes (could be something else), but itunes scanned the disk that I inserted showing it was looking at something. Perhaps this interferes with the process of the script for getting them into the audiobooks folder?
I would hate to have to re-suck all 80 something tracks and re-label them all again in itunes. (the tracks work, just cant get them in the audiobooks area)

The other is maybe the user needs Quicktime Pro? I dont have it, this may be a glitch somewhere under the hood? Maybe it uses quicktime to resave and since I dont have the pro feature it blocks it? Who knows.

Thanks for the script, though, at least someone is trying to do what apple should made second hand. This is very Microsoftish of them indeed. User friendly...you have an audiobook folder you cant stick anything in. lol

Peace

Dalen
