Tips for Adding Bookmark to iTunes

Like to listen to some audio books when you are waiting for someone or bus? That's a good idea to kill time. But part of the problem is that when you check them out from the library or get them as a loaner from a friend, the MP3 files are missing one of the crucial features: bookmarks that let you pick up where you left off, rather than having to scan through the whole book.This works for video files as well (and is turned on by default in iTunes movie purchases).

Here, I would show you a simple way to tell iTunes to remember the last played position of any file.

First, find the file in iTunes and right click (or control-click) to bring up the contextual menu. Select "Get Info.", go to "Options" tab and then check "Remember Position". Click "Ok" to confirm your changes. After that, every time you play that file, iTunes will automatically return you to the point where you left it.

In addition, set the Media Kind to "Audiobook" in the Options tab and you won't have to scan through all your music to find your files on your iDevice (or under the "Books" tab in iTunes). But, if you change the Media Kind to "Audiobook", the "Remember Position" option will be grayed out, as that's a default feature for Audiobooks.

If you want to change multiple files at once, just go to the "Options" tab as normal and then click the checkbox next to "Remember Position", and change the drop-down box to "Yes". Note that if you change the type to "Audiobooks", your video or audio file will show up on your iDevice under the "More" button, but not in a normal playlist.

Audiobook can be purchased or downloaded online. There are certain websites that offer these features for your convenience of having an audiobook for your iTunes. Here are simple steps to follow in making your own Audiobook on iTunes:

1. Import your audio from a ripped CD, downloaded files or recorded audio to your iTunes.

2. Get information on your files. Select and highlight all your imported files, and then go to the iTunes file menu and select "Get Info".

3. Change your Options under the options tab of the "get info" window; change the media kind to Audiobook.

4. Also change the "Remember Position" setting it to "Yes".

5. Label it. Click "over the Info" Tab and enter any relevant information for your audiobook including a cover artwork that you may search at Google image for the book title.

6. Find your book. This must have been transferred from your music collection to a separate library.

ITunes had been very handy for those who own iPhones, iPad and iPod. It is where you download music and video files for your Apple gadgets. It is fun downloading music but then we cannot avoid the drawbacks from availing it. Here are the lists of drawbacks in iTunes:

1. The Price. After staying the same price for years, just recently iTunes increased in price. Most of the popular track, new tracks and music videos are purchased in higher amounts.
2. The samples are not satisfying purchasers to give them enough reason to like the song and whether it's worth the money they are going to spend.
3. The selection is limited to some artists, like Kid Rock.
4. Searching for new songs in iTunes is not that helpful either.
5. The program is getting bulky and overloaded with features.
6. Cannot Rip DVDs but CDs (Troubleshoot: Import DVD to iTunes).
7. Cannot stream Videos (Troubleshoot: Import Video to iTunes).
