Re: [Apple iPod] Question about adding a burned cd to Ipod

The problem isn't getting the headings/folders to appear in the library
list. The problem is, for instance, getting audiobooks and podcasts to
appear in the correct folders.
For instance, I have "A walk in the woods," by Bill Bryson. I ripped it
to iTunes so I can listen to it on my iPod. I can go under Music and
find it either by the book title or by the artist name -- but I can find
no way for the book to appear under Audiobooks.
On the other hand, I purchased and downloaded from the iTunes store "Our
Endangered Values" by Jimmy Carter, and it appears in the Audiobooks
listing.
Same with a couple of podcasts I've got. Those I subscribe to through
the iTunes store appear in the podcast listing. Those I get from other
sources appear in the Music list.
I can place them in the podcast folder on my desktop. I can modify
artist, album, track, genre, and other stuff through Get Info.
But I can find no way to make them appear in the Podcast listing rather
than in the Music list.

It's a relatively minor frustration -- unless one thinks there might be
some logic to having books appear as books, and podcasts appear as
podcasts, and music be people singing and playing, well, music.
