I listen to audio books all the time.  The last few new releases that I've taken out of the library have the tracks out of order.  I can listen to tracks l and 2 and then track 13 follows.  Needless to say, it doesn't take long to realize "something is wrong."  Anyone else having this problem?

Is this downloaded content?  I am assuming so?  I haven't had that problem but some downloading issues where bits are missing once in a while.  I am getting frustrated that more publishers are taking audio away from the libraries and only offer e-books.

It would be nice if the mp3/tablets/ipods/etc. that play audiobooks had a separate category  for them but they all seem to go to MUSIC.

  I had the same problem with SHUFFLE getting story tracks out of order.  I had no idea what it meant but finally found it under SETTINGS.

I love being able to download an audiobook from home though - its still pretty amazing to me that this is available! I'm not a techie person or social media twitter whatever but I sure love getting books downloaded from the library.
