Why is my audiobook out of order

Examples of playback issues include:. There are a few basic troubleshooting steps that may resolve these issues. Some options include:. Skip to Main Content. Home How to Listen. My Audible. Expand search. Search Search. How can I troubleshoot playback issues on my device?

However, if one has to do the sorting manually file-by-file it would take a big chunk out of your day every time that you would like to upload an audiobook. Perhaps we can understand why it did not work for you if we compare the steps that we have taken?

This audiobook contains a separate mp3 file for every chapter all below 20MB :. Disconnected the player and verified that indeed the tracks were in the intentionally wrong order.

Disconnected and then all tracks were in the correct order. BTW, what puzzles me from your description is that in your case the same random order occurs before and after applying the FatSorter. To me this suggests that the FatSorter did not run on your folder at all. Would it be possible for you to verify that FatSorter actually did anything?

What if you apply it to another folder, such as on the Music folder? Does it work properly then? BTW2, the above applies only when viewing the audiobook from the Folder menu, since in the Book menu the ID3 tags are used for sorting. Why Apple messes with the order on an audiobook in Books is a complete mystery to me. I have no affiliation, but I've very thankful to have finally discovered something that will work for those of us who have hundreds or even thousands of audiobooks imported.

I sincerely hope this helps anyone else out there that is facing the same issues I was. Good luck! Posted on Dec 8, PM. Page content loaded. Dec 18, PM. I'm glad it helped you! I know that I did a lot of research and even spent hours speaking to various Apple Support techs trying to solve my audiobook issues and I assumed that there must be a bunch of other people experiencing the same problems. One other note is that I found the support team at Audiobook Builder Splasm to be extremely responsive.

I had an error come up once and it created an option for me to send it on to the their support team so I approved it.
