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?

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

Hmm. Strange it seems to be in the default folder (which is also the default for SONOS Music Libraries)

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.

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?

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.)

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.

Ok try adding iTunes HD as a sonos music library share, that could work.

That's what I'm doing now. I have a feeling that might sort it.
