I've been using a Sony mp3 CD player that I like, except, I want to purchase something smaller.
An iPod doesn't work for audiobooks because the files must stay in order and must be in folders, which it won't do. So that's out. It only works on audiobooks if I buy the audiobooks through iTunes. But I already own the audiobooks on CDs.
What mp3 players use folders? So that I could have say, one folder titled "Disc 1" and then have files in that folder "track1, track2, track3, etc." and then have another folder "Disc 2" and have files "track1, track2, track3, etc."
I don't mind being an mp3 player that isn't name brand, I just want something that works. Anyone use their mp3 player to listen to audiobooks? What type do you have? Do you like it?

It's not a shuffle, it's the mini.
How do you set it up to play the audiobooks in order? Mine wants to play "track01, track01, track01, then track02, track02, etc." It always goes alphabetically.
It works fine on audiobooks I buy on iTunes because they're ready to play on an iPod. But those are so expensive. I'd rather buy the CDs and then I can listen to them on CD as well if I want to.

Honestly, I'd have to have the roomie set it up - she WORKS for Apple, you might call the help line if you've got Applecare you should have a year's worth of service and advice for it. If not - well, find someone that can help, I just don't know how to tell ya, but there should be a way to organize it on the computer before you put it on the iPod.
