7th Gen Nano Audiobooks and Podcasts Issue

Howdy,

My old laptop died and I’ve started syncing my iPod Nano (7th gen) to a different machine using iTunes 12.6.2.20 However, whenever I sync, podcasts I’ve listened too remain on the iPod as unplayed and I always lose my place in my audiobooks.

All of the audiobooks appear to be set-up correctly when I click on 'get info'

I’ve noodled around looking at other threads for solutions, but nothing has helped. Any ideas?

Thanks!
