Q: STOP Continuous play of Audiobooks
-

To play the audiobook I go right into the audiobook itself but when it comes to an end, the next audiobook plays.
Playlists might do it but I don't understand why the default is to play every audiobook one after the other? Is there really no way to have a hard stop after each audiobook?

Jul 4, 2016 3:55 PMby marketingenius,There is no Book or Author option that I can see. This is how I do it: Audibooks > Audiobook title > Chapter 1 > Play. But it still plays all audiobooks continuously after finishing the current one.
Thanks for the sleep timer suggestion - a good workaround. But is there really no way for audiobooks to stop. Surely by default it should stop? My albums don't continue playing one after the other. So why should audiobooks be any different?

I haven't used a non-iOS device for some time but I've just loaded up my wife's nano with three books, two of which are multipart, and I see the same thing you do, just as flat list of tracks that play one after another. See Audiobooks on iPods for my original approach to this issue (and the problem of getting chapters in the right order) nested playlists for authors and books.
