iPod Touch 2.1 and Audiobook problems

I am experiencing a problem with audiobooks on my upgraded version 2.1 iPod Touch 32GB.

When I touch the audibook option in the Music application... the app closes and returns me to the main screen of icons. I did some experimentation and it seems to be related to the number of books, not the size of the files. I can get 18 books + any number of Audible books. Whenever I get to 19 books + Audible the error occurs.

Any ideas?

I just spent spent over an hour on the phone with Apple Care and they don't have anything in their knowledgebase about this. Don't they use the discussion forums to mine for problem resolutions? Argh! Anyway, I restored my iPod to factory settings but the same problem occurs.

Does anyone know how many covers it takes before the sort-by-letter feature kicks in? I bet it is 20...

Another one. Am just waiting for a sync after a restore (didn't find this thread before I ran the restore) - but from the list am betting it won't work.

I have 503 audio book items (29 audible) - because some books have come with one item per chapter. Gonna be hard to get the playlist workaround to be usable for that number 😟 But at least I guess I'll be able to play the files.

I really hope that they fix this one soon - I use the touch perhaps 90% audiobooks, 10% video.
