Hi All. I'm trying to play my audible audiobooks on my Sonos system. I've registered them within the Mac controller and that has been accepted. Unfortunately I cannot find them in the controller. The books are held within iTunes in the iBooks section. I feel this might be the problem. Can you offer any advice?

Not that I've seen. Many of us are expecting it to be rolled in with the Echo support, since both the Echo and Audible are from Amazon, but that's speculation. Sonos has not made any announcement one way or the other since earlier this year when someone said "this summer"
Has Sonos released any more info about this? I just paid $30 for Bruce Springsteen's audiobook and am bummed! Thanks all. :?
Oops I meant to send the link to article... Hope that helps someone :-)

Actually look like u can maybe do AirPlay with appleTV or airport express, I'm gonna CK that out!! Thanks again!
That's crazy... We have these expensive speakers & I can't play what I want on them... That's a bummer... I luv Sonos, but it sure would be nice to be able to play anything we play on our iPhones like AirPlay onto the Sonos speakers... Thanks for replying!!
Sonos no longer supports Audible books.
I followed these steps guys... I added my audiobooks to my sonos, but cannot see any books... u said u did something & then ta dah.... was that just adding the drive location?? I can see my music in my music library, which is located in OneDrive, but cannot see my audiobooks, which I purchased through ibooks... hopefully u can help. Thanks
Thanks Josh as I learned something new too!

No problem Martyn. 😃 Always happy to help anyone with their Sonos system, no matter how long it may take to fix the problem. (Preferably a few minutes)
Josh thanks again for all your help. You're a legend.
Ta Dah!!!!!!!
That's what I'm doing now. I have a feeling that might sort it.
Ok try adding iTunes HD as a sonos music library share, that could work.
Thanks for all your help Josh.
Sounds like something for the SONOS Support team to take a look at. You can call them or email them using the number displayed on this website: http://www.sonos.com/support
I keep all my iTunes library on an external hard drive to save space on my Mac (silly solid state drives). So I have a NAS drive with a library on for sonos and then my macbook pro with the iTunes HD for whilst I'm out and about.
Two shares can be used with SONOS, yes. iTunes HD is where the missing audiobook is stored According to the iTunes info window. Is iTunes HD the name of your NAS drive? (And thanks for the screenshot but I was trying to see what folders had been added to SONOS, but its indexing the library right now so that's not visible.)
I had it set to my NAS drive alone. I'm now adding my laptop to the sonos library too. Can I use two libraries? For example- iTunes HD and my nas drive?
Is 'iTunes HD/iTunes' the folder that you added as the music share in SONOS? (You can check this by going into the SONOS app, Settings Music Library Settings) Screenshot of the SONOS Music Library settings window would be nice too.
Hmm. Strange it seems to be in the default folder (which is also the default for SONOS Music Libraries)
OK. Let me see what I can do.
In iTunes could you right click on any of the Audiobooks that aren't appearing in the SONOS app and select 'Reveal In Finder'.
It'd be great if you replied with a screenshot of the finder window, or with the path of the file.
Having done this it has made no difference. What I have noticed is that the only books that show up in my sonos controller are books I have loaded onto iTunes from a CD. Anything ibhave purchased does not appear.
I had not. Top tip.
