iOS 7 and Audiobook Chapters

I have been using AudioMark for about 6 months. I think it works better for me than Bookmobile. But I suggest that you try them and give Apple a few comments to about not supporting their customers!

Anything happens within Apples Musik App? (using iOS 6.1.3, because of audiobook issues)

I don't have a question as I see from reading the forum that there is are no solutions to my issues. I just want to stick my voice in here somewhere. I only recently upgraded (??) from iOS5 to iOS7 on my iPhone 4. I put it off because I no longer look forward to Apple updates. Instead, I dread them. However, more and more apps no longer worked on iOS5 so I made the jump. What a mess Music and Podcast apps are now! I wish we had some control over how they behave and could make them work like they used to (i.e. perfectly in my case). I share many problems with others on the forum. I miss the chapters in audiobooks. I hate having to switch apps to listen to a podcast. I don't like having all the podcasts listed on the app instead of just those I haven't listened to. I can go on and on, but it has mostly been covered in the forums. The best thing said is that Apple must not have anyone who uses these apps, or, maybe worse, there is only one person at Apple who uses them and wants everyone to use them his or her way whether we want to or not. For a company whose reputation is founded on user friendliness, having customers dread updates because of the destruction to user-friendliness they'll do, well, not a good thing. This seemed to have all started after I got my kid and wife off of windows and onto Macs and have an iPad and iPhone. I guess they figure I'm hooked and they don't have to worry about me anymore. I don't like they way they want to (and succeed at) force me to do things their way instead of my way (their way in the last version).

If i knew this up front. i would never buy an new ipod to replace my old (dead) ipod 4 ios 5.

Today im the "proud" owner of an ipod touch 5 gen ios 8. And i Really want to return it...

Thanks for info.

whats about non Audible audiobook using non-DRM m4b?

Home-made M4Bs still no better on iOS8.

And Commercial ones?

Home made Looks like this (on iOS6, see more on Re: iOS 7 and Audiobook Chapters):

No idea I'm afraid, all mine are imported from CD and built using Audiobook Builder..

I feel exactly the same way. Wish I had seen this before I bought my iPod touch. Thankfully I still have a ipod nano 7th gen.

I am hoping this gets fixed at least this year.

I am so frustrated - I am going to try and find an older ipod to use. It is insane that this alteration was done and cannot imagine any audiobook readers were consulted as new setting impossible to navigate without wasting a huge amount of time.

Apple please sort this out asap

I also hate how itunes does this. It's useless.

I use the audible app for everything now and no longer use itunes for any listening. I would suggest to people to never buy a book from itunes either. audible is cheaper anyway.

The biggest problem for me is there is no audible app for mac computers (just ios). I would like to listen to books while i cook, but there no way to do it except through headphones.

I mean, I could do it, but your place gets lost and the scrubbing function doesnt work, so its useless.

You should be able to use the Audible Cloud App in your browser on your Mac.

There's no download for Mac Anymore. It says to just use iTunes. 'm guessing there used to be a link there but now it just says this.

Mac users using iTunes do not need to download any additional software.

Audible files will download directly into iTunes.
