I recently got hooked on Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. Oh and consume most of my literature through audiobooks. So after listening to the first 2 books on Overdrive through my local library, I had to have more!! Currently the family subscribes to the Audible service where you pay a flat rate each month and receive a credit equal to one book. Since we only get 12 per year, I decided to look at the library for the next books in CD form. Turns out they had two of them and after requesting a transfer I was notified and picked them up.
This is where the work begins. The Waste Lands Book 3 of the series is 16 disk long. iTunes makes it easy to find the names of the tracks and import the disk. The problem arises when you try to put them on your phone.
First before uploading to your phone the CD's need to be converted to Audiobooks by selecting the Album/CD then right clicking and selecting Song Info. When this window opens your must go to options and change your Media Kind to Audiobook. If you were in music the Albums will disappear because they are now over under audiobooks. If you sync to your phone now each CD will appear as a separate title not the whole book linked as a complete book.
The solution is to select the CD titles, make sure that each CD contains info for cd x of x, when the titles are selected right click again and change the title under the sorting tab. The tracks should now be in order by disk and grouped together so when synced to your phone they will play continuously with out you having to stop and play the next disk manually.
Hope this works. I have been using iTunes 12.7
