[SOLVED] gtkpod won't import m4p audiobooks

[kri5]

I use gtkpod iPod manager for Classic iPod, the music side works fine but for some reason now it won't allow me to import audio-books in the M4P format, this is required so that the iPod places the file under audio-books and not music.

This use to work a while ago when I was using Ubuntu, to be honest I don't remember if I've used it before in Kubuntu.

I'm drawing a blank everywhere else so far and really need help before I fall for the lure of the dark-side and go back to Ubuntu (no offence Ubuntu users) or dare I say it Windows.

Do you have gtkpod-aac installed?

Can't find 'gtkpod-aac' anywhere in KpackeKit installed or otherwise.

Should it be in there or do I need to install it some other way?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Snowhog.

I couldn't find 'gtkpod-aac' so I googled it which led me to:

http://linuxappfinder.com/package/gtkpod-aac

I then searched for and installed libmp4v2-0 from KpackageKit.

Plugged in my iPod, launched gtkpod and added the audio-book file and what do you know, it worked.

Now a very happy camper , not only can I continue to use my iPod but I don't need to move away from Kubuntu, something I wasn't looking forward to doing.
