So lately my OCD has gotten the better of me...again. LOL

I don't know why I was compelled to do this at all, but I just was feeling really annoyed at how all of my audiobook CDs would import into iTunes with terrible names like track 1, 2, etc. or worse when I am listening and hear "End of Disc x...blah blah blah" during the playlist playback. Then there was the way Audible just dumps the books into iTunes as one or two huge files. This makes it really hard to stop and start if you are on older iPods. No way to know where you left off. And my iPod seems to constantly lose it's place when I am on the go. Again, making me wish that the audiobooks were broken up into proper chapters.

My solution has been time consuming for sure...and most would think I am crazy...but when I listen to my books now or more importantly when I see them in my iTunes library...I just have to smile! Imho, this is how Audiobooks should be done. This is how they should look in your playback App. Broken down correctly to correspond with the ToC. Right?

Is anyone else having to deal with AUDIBLE not having the new edition of"The Bazaar of Bad Dreams". I was told I would have to turn the original one in for a refund to get the new addition. When they get it. How tedious is that. With all SK does to promote Kindle and Audible to get this kind of run around.....

We've let Simon&Schuster Audio know that people are having an issue with Audible and they are checking into it.
