Thanks,
I do or have done some of what you describe. As I've said the joining
files eliminates the multitude of tiny files, and adding names and
labels in the various categories will keep things totally clear.
I also take a step that takes the location of these files out of iTunes
hands. For each book I create a folder and in
iTunes/preferences/advanced, put the book in that folder. Then iTunes
can't spread the files all over the place in unnamed folders.

I use my iPods almost exclusively for audiobooks. My method for
ensuring proper sequencing is:
In iTunes preferences, for the When insert CD option, I chose Show CD
(instead of start importing). Then if the CDDB database doesn't have
the tracks and/or disks differentiated, I select all and, with Get
Info, name the album, Book Name nn, author as the artist, and, Books
and Spoken as Genre. Then hit the Import CD button.
Each track can now have the track nn name, but be grouped in CD order.
When you make your playlist, the albums will be in CD order under the
author (block select, drag and drop to playlist).
Also, if more than 9 CDs, be sure to number, 01, 02, etc, so that you
don't have 10, 11, etc, betwe
