Summary0005289: AudioBook tracks synced to iPods aren't grouped by Book/Album
DescriptionWhen Audiobooks are synced with MM to an iPod (not iPhone or iPod Touch), tracks from a book aren't grouped correctly.

e.g.
Artist=Jean Marlowe
Album=Cinderella
Title=Track1, Track2, etc.

Music is synched correctly, however, the tracks are not grouped under Album=Cinderella, rather, each Title appears as a separate Audiobook.

This occurs when auto-syncing tracks that contain 'Books' in the Genre (unless the AudioBooks filter is deleted).

This is not an issue with audiobooks, but rather how iPod shows tracks from single artist and single album. See following examples:

1. artist with only one single album:

( Artist=Jean Marlowe, Album=Cinderella, Title=Track1)
( Artist=Jean Marlowe, Album=Cinderella, Title=Track2)


Showed as
IPod/Music/Artists/Jean Marlowe/Track1
IPod/Music/Artists/Jean Marlowe/Track2

2. artist with multiple albums:

( Artist=Jean Marlowe, Album=Cinderella, Title=Track1)
( Artist=Jean Marlowe, Album=Cinderella2, Title=Track2)

Showed as
IPod/Music/Artists/Jean Marlowe/Cinderella1/Track1
IPod/Music/Artists/Jean Marlowe/Cinderella2/Track2


This behaviour is same for all tracks despite the fact whether they are audiobooks or not. And in adition despite the fact whether they are synced using MM or iTunes.

i.e. It is iPod issue.
