I’ve been watching this and similar threads to see if I could find a different way to
get audiobooks on my fuze.This way works fine for me for now.
I don’t have any other software other than Windows Media Player (WMP). I use MTP mode
because I get books from the library.
I am typing this for those who don’t have any other software except windows media player
and want to get a cd on the fuze.
This is what I do.
For books on multi- cds:
put first cd in WMP to be ripped to computer
THIS NEXT STEP IS IMPORTANT: DECIDING WHAT YOU WANT IN ADVANCE:
Decide on Album name : usually the books name
Decide on Artist name: usually author
Change Genre: audiobook
Decide on Year: usually book release, or cd release
Decide on Origional album name: usually same as album name: name of book
Decide on title name: usually the indivual chapter names. Example: “chapter 1” or
“Genesis chapter 1” “chapter 2”, or the actual name of first chapter “the beginning”
etc.
once ripped change all fields. Please note the Origional album and title name fields
will be in the next step.
Then right click on each title and hit advance tag editor.
Under track information you will see a place for title, origional album and next to
original album a field called set.
NOW HERE ARE THE CHANGES:
In the title field put the name of the chapter in the format you decided at the
beginning.
In the Origional album put the name you decided at the beginning.
In the set field for the first cd put 01 (remember to use the 01 not 1)
Now put in the second cd to be ripped and follow the same steps making sure all the
fields are the same except the title field, which will be then next chapter name and the
set field which will be 02.
Now third cd, everything the same and… title: next chapter and set field to 03
Enter cd’s until you have finished your book.
THE KEY IS TO KEEP ALL THE FIELDS THE SAME FOR ALL THE CD’S IN THE BOOK, EXCEPT THE SET
FIELD AND THE TITLE FIELD
It goes pretty quickly as you can have the next cd ripping while you are editing the cd
you just finished ripping.
NOTE: DON’T PANIC IF YOU SEE IN WINDOWS MEDIA THE FILES LISTED 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3
jUST SYC TO YOUR FUZE.
once on you fuze check under audiobook. The audiobook will be listed and all the
chapters listed in correct order.
For books from the library:
my library uses overdrive- the program from the library.
When you go to transfer it will ask you if this is the location you want to load to your
device.
I hit advance and browse. I find audiobook file from my fuze and hit enter. I then hit
finish.
The book is now loading to my fuze in the audiobook section. Once the book
loaded to my fuze I am all done. Check your fuze under audiobook and it is there ready
to go.
If you want to save the book, load to WMP, change genre to audiobook and all the other fields to match, and then sync…
You can but it is the long way.
Hope this helps.
