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?

Hi Martyn,

Is there a genre named 'Audiobooks' in Music Library > Genres?

Yes but for some reason it won't find the audible books or the audiobooks I've purchased from iTunes either.

So none of the Audiobooks are in the 'Books And Spoken' genre or the 'Audiobook' genre in the Sonos app?

This could take a few minutes depending on the size of our iTunes Library.

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.

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.
