You're a Bunch of Factors

OK, iTunes/iPod gurus, here's one I'm struggling with.

I have an audiobook that is giving me grief.
When I slip it into iTunes and go to "get info" and change it from Music to Audiobook, it takes all bar one file to the Audiobook folder. It just keeps leaving the 5th track behind. The 5th track will play in "Music" section, but that's kinda useless when there is 14 in all. Any ideas as to why this one file might be different to the rest and what i can do to fix it?

check properties in both i tunes and audio book,
make sure track 5 = all the others.
it might be necessary to bulk change all in both to synchronize them as one .[this should keep them all together change the genre or even add an[A/ 1 ]to the artist/albumn titles.[ex radio production trick].

Yeah actually tried that one already Bruce.
only thing different was there was no cover art associated with the file in windows.
Not sure how the Music folder or what ever does it adds a pic directly to each MP3. I can add a folder cover to the folder but not the actual MP3.
I have had a small bit of success through some stuff I googled. I am currently changing all the files in the book to AIFF files. I tried it on the affected filed then transfered it and it worked, so just doing that to the other files so it will all be uniform.

cheers seems you are on top of it /her?

I hate iTunes.

I have all my music from the old laptop on my iPhone (something like 3g of songs). Y'know, the laptop that has no charger and is completely flat, so I only have the one copy of the songs. I can't add anything more onto my iPhone because iTunes wants to sync my iPhone with the new list I have now.

So basically I have to wait until I get a new charger so I don't lose everything.

There are ways around that Aaron

Yup, that seems to have done the trick Bruce.
It may have even solved another problem I have, but will get back to you on that.

What breed of laptop ALK I may have a charger to suit.

I have a USB to IDE/SATA adaptor that works with both size HDD's simple remove HDD from laptop and connect it to another PC/laptop via USB and grab whatever you want off the drive
