Hey Everyone
I've got a couple of .mp4 files in my iTunes library and on my iPod but i can only put them in the movies section on both of them. How is it possible to somehow move them to TV Shows and Music Videos because its really annoying because there are so many of them in Movies.

The same thing for audiobooks. I have a few of them in .mp3 format and i can only put them in Music and not in the Audiobooks section.

I was wondering if anyone could help in my dilema??



thanks a lot

Unless you buy something with iTunes, they will not go into the proper sections. Audiobooks will go into the audiobook section also if they are bought via audible.com, and are in AA format.

That's not correct, actually. You can get info on a file in iTunes, click on the Video tab, and under Video Kind choose either Movie, TV Show, or Music Video. Or you do what I do, which is tag files I convert with an MP4 tagger such as Lostify or Parsley is Atomically Delicious. Either way will put video files in the right place on your iPhone/iPod.

If you convert those MP3s into AAC format and change the extension at the of the filename to .m4a they magically become Audiobooks.

um, i tried that - however, when i converted them to aac they had become .m4a already, but i still can't find a way to put them in the audiobooks section!

I think Jason made a minor typo... he meant to say change the extension from m4a to m4b. The entire process is described in detail on the following webpage:

My favorite approach to this particular issue -- moving a video from Movies to TV Shows -- is Doug's Set Video Kind Of Selected script, which I covered here:

You can download it here:

After you install it, you just select the video file(s) in question, and then choose the script from iTunes' script menu to set your options.
