"There's no better way to pass up a boring car ride, long flight, or a mundane task and listing to a good audio book. Hi, I'm Rokosz your digital lifestyle expert and I'm going to you how to get audio books onto your iPod. Now, the easiest way to do it is to go to iTunes let me show you here. First of all, we're going to launch well we're already in iTunes because this is the carousel splash page. I'm going to bring it down over here and you can go to the iTunes store. Load it up. Navigate over to audio books. Find your favorite author and selection. Go ahead and put your credit card in and hit pay and then it will automatically downloads it right into iTunes and ready to be loaded into your iPod. Now, if you want to get it in, you already have audio books and they've been transferred to the MP3 format, you can go ahead and add them to your library like you would do any other song. So, I'm going to just simply go to my finder right here. Here we got the audio file and this is encrypted but it loaded the exact same way. You just drag and drop it in there. Now, here's kind of the rub. If you don't purchase it through iTunes, at this point, it does not allow you to migrate it over into the audio books format tab. So, it's just seen as another long song. So, what I like to do there is simply create another customized playlist like I have here and then dump all of the things all the parts of the book into one place so I can go ahead and listen to as a playlist style but if you buy it off of iTunes, it automatically adds it to the audio book library and on going the prices are pretty much right in line unless you stumble across an audio book. iTunes made it an easier way to go ahead and purchase it but like I said if not just transfer it in and create your own playlist and put it in with the regular music. At that point, whether you can load it just like a song or over here when you go to your devices, you simply just go to your music here and go ahead and select all songs in playlist and then go ahead and hit your synchronization button bomb. It's going to begin the syncing here. When it says it's done, it's done and now you can sit back and listen to a good book. I'm Rokosz your digital lifestyle expert saying stream you later."
