Using external metadata editors, I can fill in the "grouping" field, which iTunes will recognize, but there's no index associated with it. I've tried CloudBeats, but it doesn't recognize chapter metadata, and often wouldn't recognize the covers for my books, whether embedded or from a folder.jpg. I've tried Bound, which I loved for the option of streaming from the cloud, but it doesn't support playlists, and for some reason kicked back an error on a lot of my audiobooks when I tried to transfer them to the iThing.

(Maybe they go into the music app on the phone? I didn't check.) The Books app has "collections" but while you can organize your audiobooks on the phone in series order there, there's no way to simply sync a series between phone and device. But iTunes syncs your audiobooks with the Books app on the iThing, and the Books app doesn't import those playlists. I've tried to create playlists with everything in the proper order. Itunes will recognize certain tags if you add them using an external metadata editor, but won't give you the option to add it yourself. You have to create your own genre tags usually they don't exist otherwise. the metadata options you have for tagging your audiobooks is music metadata.

The problem seems to be that most software to handle audiobooks is built around the framework for handling audio files, rather than BOOKs. I spend a lot of time in the car and listen to audiobooks probably 20-30 hours a week and I don't want to be scrolling through the file list on my phone trying to find the next book while I'm driving.

The problem is how to export them to my iThing with series organization metadata.

How to catalogue them on the Mac isn't a huge problem. m4b files it's "one file/one book" and would work out okay. I COULD catalogue these in Calibre that way, since I listen to. To be fair, this isn't just a problem with audiobooks For my ebooks of this series, I actually created a metadata field in Calibre called "Universe" separate from the series field and gave the stories their own indices there so that they would sort properly. I want them to have the proper series names and indices but still fall in order, darn it! Unless you want to change the series names all to something like "Honorverse" and the series indices to be sequential, but the stickler for accuracy in my balks at doing it that way. Honor Harrington #14: Uncompromising Honor.Saganami Island #2: Storm from the Shadows.Saganami Island #1: The Shadow of Saganami.Wages of Sin #1: Crown of Slaves (for which "From the Highlands" and "Fanatic" provide necessary background)."Fanatic" (Short story in The Service of the Sword, Worlds of Honor Anthology #4)."Nightfall" (Short story in Changer of Worlds)."From the Highlands" (Short story in Changer of Worlds)."Changer of Worlds" (short story in Changer of Worlds, Worlds of Honor Anthology #3)."A Whiff of Grapeshot" (short story in More than Honor, Worlds of Honor Anthology #1).Honor Harrington #6: Honor Among Enemies.Book #5 in a series has to be titled with a series index of #5.0 if you want it listed before a short story with a series index of #5.5, at least in some apps.īut in the case of the Honor Harrington novels, you have a situation where optimally, you would read the books as follows: The "series name/index in the title" thing works okay for shorts interspersed with the regular novels, as long as you're really precise with how you number. Changing the metadata for the album name in iTunes results in things falling in order, if you name it like this:Ĭonfederation #2: The Better Part of Valorīut if you have a series with a lot of shorts (frex, The Dresden Files) and/or offshoot series that tie back into the plot of the main series (frex, David Webers Honor Harrington series and its offshoots) things get really problematic. Now, this might not matter so much for a trilogy or even a straightforward where everything is in order. I'm currently working on curating my audiobook collection, tidying up the metadata and getting everything so that they SHOULD be cleanly catalogued.īut what I've noticed there's a rather severe dearth of options for managing series of books. For background, I'm using a Mac, and I listen to my books on my iPhone.
