So doesn't that make the playlist really long? Each CD has dozens of  
tracks and if one has a long book like The Count of Monte Cristo which  
is 38 CDs. That's an incredible long playlist without joining the  
tracks on each one.  that's only one reason I have always joined  
tracks using iTunes at the start. I've done it that way since itunes  
was first released.
I'll import a book and not join the tracks and try that. I'll let you  
know.
Thanks.
