Q: I bought an audiobook on itunes and I cant get it to play on my ipod shuffle (version 3 or 4)

I bought Bill Bryson's History of Everything, I would like to listen to it while running.  I have sync it to the ipod shuffle, it syncs too fast and then doesn't play when I go looking for it, it is not there!

    Audiobooks are accessed and selected on the 4th gen shuffle as a "playlist."  If you press and hold the VoiceOver button on the shuffle, so that VoiceOver starts going through your playlists, your audiobooks that are synced to the shuffle should be on that list.  You can then select it and play it.
