I haven't had any trouble loading music mp3s on my ipod, but I AM having trouble loading an mp3 audio book as one long track. You can take regular audiobooks, (the ones with about 8 cds), load a cd, and then connect the tracks so each cd loads as one track. I can't get the mp3 audiobook to do it....yet. It's a puzzle I'll figure out one of these days. Oh, and here's another audiobook tip, transfer them to itunes using the AAC encoder and transfer it at 64 kbps. That's half of what you use for music, and you don't notice a difference and the files are very very small.

Oh, I just love this stuff...
