Audiobook with iOS 7

Post by CasualListener »

Hello Everyone,

I have a problem to access audiobooks at my iPhone using MM beta 4.1.0.1685 and iOS 7.0.4.
The original book in MM looks like

When I send it to the phone, it there looks fragmented like

The navigation tree for the phone looks like

I expected to see an album node or similar there.

On the phone itself I can't find the book.
Can anybody tell me whether I'm doing something wrong or whether this is a bug?

Thank you.

I tried the same now and the audiobooks can be accessed this way on the device:
Music -> right-down corner click '...more' -> Audiobooks -> ...

Works fine for me to list them and play them (tested both MP3 and M4B and both are playable in the device), tested with iTouch5, iOS 7.0.4

I've checked again and the tracks are visible now for me too on the phone.
No idea, why they were missing when I wanted to visit them for the first time.
Thank you for pushing me again that way.

I further played around with MM, first changing the sort order to "Song#" and then following the interpreter link (I guess) "Unbekannt" (== "unknown").
And then the fragmentation has gone and all the tracks are shown the same way in both library and phone. This is true for Audiobooks, Interpreter and Genre nodes. So the problem was of temporary kind only, fortunately.

Thank you.
