How I can separate music from audio books?

Post by bega » Fri Aug 05, 2011 11:39 am

Hello,
I use Twonkyserver on my NAS.
When I listen to mixed music, then audio books are also played. But I would like to assign this extra, so they are not filed with under Music.
To sort the books into an extra folder did not pull the desired success.
Is it possible to create a category Audio Books?

Thanks for the help.

The best way to do this is to make sure the Genre for every book is set to 'Audiobook'. This should be done using free software like Winamp, or any other similar product which edits that actual ID3 tag (e.g. Media Monkey, Tag & Rename, etc.).

Once you've done this you can view all of your books by going to any navigation heading which contains the word 'genre' and then navigating to 'Audiobook'.

Thanks, that's a good idea. :)
But if I want to hear my music through each other, so all genres, then you should not be entitled to hear from an audiobook.

Understood. Another possible solution would be to install your Twonky software on two different devices. Your license key should work with both. This isn't a solution to your problem, just another workaround.

Someone else here might have a better suggestion.

Thanks for the help Rick.

Perhaps is it possible that one can distinguish in future versions at the directory selection of music and audio book?
Is there a "wish list" which you could add this point?
