Like Xendula said, you're jumping through a lot of hoops to get around a limitation that doesn't exist. I haven't used iTunes in years, but when I did and I had mp3 audiobooks or other spoken word, I'd just shift-select all the tracks, right-click and (iirc) Edit Metadata (or maybe it's "info" in iTunes) where there was a drop-down menu for Media Type (or something to that effect). One of the options is "audiobook," which will separate those tracks from your music in iTunes and on any Apple device.
