If however, you are listening to a book on your Ipod and then want to use it to listen to music the ipod often Will Not remember your position when you return to the audiobook.

The Ipod does this as it does not differentiate between the spoken word and music files. In order to combat this annoying feature you can simply write the position you were up to on the bottom of your palm or;

select the relevant files of the book you are listening to in Itunes, and drag them to the audiobooks tab on the left of the screen. you will then change their setting to that of an audiobook. once this has been done your ipod will remember your audiobooks position whilst you play other music and even other audiobooks.

in doing this be aware that you will have to access your audiobooks from the relevant folder on your ipod. the books will not be listed with the music files.

thanks for sharing your experiences with this!
