Wrong audiobook art showing in Books app

When adding audiobooks to my iPad 2020, even though my iTunes has the

correct cover artwork, it shows up on my iPad as different artwork

usually from a different audiobook. I'm building the audiobooks using the Audiobook Builder app and never had any problems with my previous ipad. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Audiobooks not showing on Books App search Hi, Following article: Listen to audiobooks in Apple Books - Apple Support (MT) I seem to be unable to find audiobooks anywhere and I don’t have the option to specifically search for audiobooks only for instance. I’ve checked all the settings and reinstalled the app. Updated also to iOS16.1. Screenshots included. For example I am searching for Atomic Habits by James Clear which I know for a fact has an audiobook version but only the readable one shows up. I’ve also tried with Harry Potter and some other books just to test. Thanks for the help!

Can't play MP3 format audiobooks in iPhone Books app Hey gang, So I can't get audiobook MP3s to play on my Books app on my iPhone. I synced them using Finder and I found two things immediately: if an audiobook contains multiple MP3s, each file shows up as a separate book in the app. Second, none of the imported files will play. At all. I've deleted the books app and reinstalled, then synced my audiobook library again--no joy. They show up just fine in the desktop app, and I don't have any problem playing them on the desktop either. It's just the iPhone that makes this a hassle. TL;DR: when I sync my MP3 audiobooks to the Books app on the iPhone, the individual MP3s show up as separate audiobooks that don't play anyway. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to change the file format or something?

Try the support for Audiobook Builder app and see if anyone else using it has the same problem.

Hi Tom. Thanks for your reply. I contacted Splasm support and they said it’s an issue with Books and iPadOS. The only thing they suggested was restarting the iPad. This, of course, made no difference.
