I just downloaded this series and am super excited to start listening to it today. I love Bob’s style of lecture, so I know this is going to be great!
Just wanted to let everyone know that the files in the zip file I downloaded had 3 slightly different titles in the properties, so when I imported them into iTunes and then set their properties as an Audiobook (so I can play them at 1.5 or 2X speed) my iBook app saw them as three different audio books.
It’s no big deal. There are 2 ways to correct the problem.
1 – In Windows Explorer, unzip all of the files. Then, select all of the unzipped files and right click on one of the selected files and choose Properties. You should only see two tabs, General and Details. Click on the Details tab. Now click on the Album name. Name the Album something appropriate like “History of Economic Thought, Part I: Classical Economics and the Marginal Revolution” and click OK. Now all files have the same Album name.
2 – If you’ve already imported your files in to iTunes, select all of the files and choose “Get Info.” In the Info window, make sure the Details tab is selected. Now change the title to something appropriate, like “History of Economic Thought, Part I: Classical Economics and the Marginal Revolution” and click OK.
By the way, if you click on the Options tab in the iTunes Info window, you’ll see a drop down box for “Media Kind.” That’s where you can change the files to Audio Books. When you do, they’ll instantly show up in your iPhone’s iBooks app, which allows you to play audio files faster.
Thanks for this material, Bob! I’m really looking forward to it.
Mark.
