Hey,

First off, I wanted to say, Amarok is really impressive. I've been using *nix for less then a year and I've switched from liking minimalistic winamp to big and bulky Amarok Great job.

I recently got myself an IPOD mainly because I wanted to listen to audio books on my commute to work. So I have a couple of questions:


1. I was wondering, how exactly do I transfer my audio books / podcasts so they show up in the correct menu. And aren't mixed up with my music?

2. Is there any mass tagger/plugin availible for amarok? (ie. Make first letter of song uppercase, rest lowercase)

Thans in advance 

First of all, make sure that you have Amarok f1.4.3 and the Apple iPod media device plugin.
For podcasts, just download & transfer them using Amarok. Then they should show up in the Podcast category on your ipod.

As to audiobooks, you have 2 possibilities:
- reencode your audiobooks to m4a (e.g. using faac) and change the extension of the resulting file to m4b, then transfer them e.g. by dragging from the built-in filebrowser or from konqueror to the media browser tab in Amarok
- buy .aa files from audible.com

Does Amarok play m4b-files?

Uh... I found the solution for m4b-Audiobooks to be played in Amarok. Use xine... My Amarok used the Helix engine and therefore couldn't play m4b-Audiobooks. With the Xine-Engine everythings works fine!
