[iTunes] iTouch/iTunes difficulty

[Ken Stevens]

I have a number of audio books in my library.  I did not join tracks  
when I ripped them from CD.  I created a Playlist for each book and
moved the ripped files to that playlist.  I made sure all the files  
were in order.  My books play from beginning to end from that playlist,
no problem.

I take it that you have several large files, one for each CD.  Try  
placing them in a playlist in the proper order and they should play
without a problem.

Failing this there is a program named Fission by Rogue Amoeba.  It  
lets you join tracks together to make one large file and then
re-import them to iTunes.  You could also do this with Quicktime Pro.
