I enjoy listening to audio books on my IPOD. It’s pretty cool to be able to listen to a wealth of information about a variety of subjects during my commute, chores, or spare time. It’s especially cool because I’m too lazy and too busy to read long books like Moby Dick, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and other classics that I’ve always wanted to read.

For those that have added audio books to your I-Tunes, you have to be frustrated like I am, that my audio books get added as MUSIC and are listed under SONGS. Well those days are over. The newest version of I-Tunes has a great feature for those of you, like me, that are tired of it.

This new feature is pretty simple, in I-Tunes 8.01, simply highlight the tracks in your music library > right click and select Get Info > select Options > change media kind to Audio books.

It’s that simple. The cool thing is, the books will get skipped on shuffle and if you go to your settings, you can change the default settings of the audio book speed to play faster which means you can get through your books quicker and move onto the next one sooner.

Happy listening.
