Sorry it took me a while to get back to the thread. I'd like to rip the audio 
books so that they show up as having come from 1 album, and when I transfer 
them to my iPhone they show up as one entry in the books section under music. 

I checked the one book that did this automatically, and I can't figure out how 
the track information was inputted. In the finder it is under audio books, then 
the author, then all the tracks are there. It seems to have the same album 
name, and the track title has enough information that if it were grouped 
alphabetically it would put it n the right order. I can't find any track number 
sequencing, which used to be the way to do this using Winapm on Windows. you 
would tell the ripper it the disc was from the same album and tell it to start 
the track sequencing where the previous one left off.

I have ore audio books to play with, I'll see if giving the discs the same 
album name keeps things together, and if the tracks stay in the right sequence.

Peace,

Ian
