I recieved a Sansa View 8G for Christmas and would appreciate some info on how to add audiobooks to my media player. Is there any way to add audiobooks in mp3 format to your audiobook list and not have it show up in my music list? 

 Thanks,

 Firk

If you right click an individual audio file, click Properties, and choose the Summary tab, you will see a values list of your audio file. If Sansa uses the information anything like Apple does, the Genre property determines where the files are organized in the player. Commercial audio books are all over the map as to genre. If you have a file that did end up where you want it, determine its genre value and make this change to the other audiobook files. There are programs that will fetch this information from the web and insert it, but I have found them to be inconsistent for audiobook files.

 Regrets if this is ground you have already covered.

I am sorry but I do not understand; this sansa should be simpler, on the order of drag and drop. The software my library requires (overdrive) can't work on my sansa UNLESS I install something other software and all this is getting too much---------all I want is drag and drop, why is that so hard?
And the sansa quit on a music file transfer, wouldn't go past 20 min of album. Do not like all these problems.
