Actually thats not what he said. He just explained how he manages it. And there are no hoops. One app, a couple of clicks, done.

One of the options is "audiobook," which will separate those tracks from your music in iTunes and on any Apple device.

You have every right to do it how you wish. I happen to think my way makes more sense. I find my method easy. Shiftclick select to the app, title and author/reader, click make audiobook. End of. Transfer to itunes audiobook section is done by the application. No need to edit other metadata except for a cover if you want one. (and yes, its in info in iTunes... but I still dont want multiple files when one or two will do, and are bookmarkable.)
The information I provided above is for people who haven't got an aversion to iTunes, and who dont feel inclined to edit the metadata.
