How To Listen On Your Apple Device
From Librivox wiki
The Podcast Method
- Use the Subscribe in iTunes method to download the files.
- Now that you have the whole book in iTunes, connect your apple device to your computer.
- When it shows up in the left bar in iTunes, click on its name.
- Select Podcasts from the bar at the top of the page.
- If the checkbox next to "Sync Podcasts" is unchecked, click it. You may get a warning message. If you do, click OK.
- The default sync behaviour for podcasts is to load all unplayed files of all the podcasts you have subscribed to.
- I prefer to change it to all unplayed files of selected podcasts.
- This will add checkboxes to the list of podcasts below. You can then select only the ones you want to load to your device.
- Click Apply at the bottom to begin syncing.
The Book Method
- Use the Zip file method to download the files.
- Open iTunes. Go to File -> Add folder to library. Browse to the audiobook's unzipped folder. Click Select Folder.
- This will add the files to your main music library.
- Click on Music in the left bar, and find the files you just added.
- Select all the files (click on the first one, scroll down to the last one and shift-click), right-click and select Get Info.
- Go to the Options tab. Set Media Kind to Audiobook, and Remember position to Yes.
- If you'd like to change any other tags at this time, you can do so in the Info tab.
- Click OK when you have finished.
- When you click OK, the files will disappear from your media library and be moved to the Books section.
- Now that you have the book in your Books section, connect your apple device to your computer.
- When it shows up in the left bar in iTunes, click on its name.
- Select Books from the bar at the top of the page.
