Re: Fast Forward And Rewind With iTunes And iPhone 5
Hi Jessica, I use the 15 second rewind and fast forward in the music app when listening to audio books. if this is not showing up for you then you may need to press the Album Art button to get the additional controls. I have not tried this recently but I think that also a double tap and hold on the forward and back buttons may result in a rewind or fast forward action.

Fast Forward And Rewind With iTunes And iPhone 5
Hello I just started wanting to take my audio books around on my Iphone for my daily commutes. When I am in a file that is 8 hours long, how can I fast forward and rewind? If I lose my place and want to get back, I flick up and down on this track position but it moves by hour. Any suggestions? If iTunes isn't the best for this can someone suggest another app?

I find the easiest way to do this is with the center remote button on the earpods that came with my iPhone 5. Pressing the center button 3 times and holding it will rewind the track. Pressing it twice and holding it will fast forward the track. You can hear the track playing rapidly as it rewinds and advances.

RE: Fast Forward And Rewind With iTunes And iPhone 5
Hi Jessica, I assume you refer to the Music app. The music app will advance or go back on the time line by approx. 10% of whatever length your current chapter is if you flick up or down. You can also do a double tap and hold and then carefully drag your finger right or left for smaller movements. But the fact is that if your book is one large file without chapter navigation and it is 10 hours (600 minutes) long, then a flick will go back or forward by an hour. If your book was 10 hours long, but it was broken into 10 chapters which approx. were 1 hour each, then a flick up or down would move by about 6 minutes in whichever chapter you are in. How well or not well this works for you is large dependent how the audio book was created. If you rip them from CD are their chapters and all that. It's also important to make sure that the file or files is/are designated as Audio Books in iTunes on the computer. You do this by going to the file or highlighting the files of a book if they are in the music library, then go to Get Info, Control+I if you use windows, then go to the Options tab and find the Media Kind box. Make sure it is set to Audio book and then tab until you find the checkbox to remember playback position and check it. You should also be able to use audible and possibly Downcast to play these files. I actually like how the music app works with the way I create my audio books. If I have a bunch of MP3 files either ripped or downloaded, I use Chapter and Vers to create a single M4B file and if it is one large MP3 file I also use Chapter and Vers to convert it to M4B and the program allows you to insert breaks every 30 or 60 minutes or whatever time interval you want. If I had a 10 hour book I would insert a break every 60 minutes, those would be basically chapters even though they may not correspond with the chapters in the book, but I could use Next or Previous to jump to these points and then use the flick up or down for navigating by approx. 6 minute intervals and the 30 second Jump back for even smaller intervals. Hope this helps a bit, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jessica Diaz Sent: Friday, April 05, 2013 12:46 PM To: viphone Subject: Fast Forward And Rewind With iTunes And iPhone 5 Hello I just started wanting to take my audio books around on my Iphone for my daily commutes.
