How to Create an Audiobook in iTunes
Digital audiobooks can come from many different sources, including Audible, eBooks and iTunes. Audiobook files are different than a simple audio file, because a user has the ability to slow down or speed up the playback of an audiobook file. If you want to play an audiobook file on your iPod or through iTunes, you will need to create an iPod Audiobook file. This process can be completed in iTunes.
