In summary: When I get a new MP3 book, I go into different programs I have and I :
1. Make sure the tracks are numbered sequentially.
2. Make sure the track names are numbered: 001 Book Name
3. Make sure the file names are numbered: 001 Book Name.mp3
4. When I transfer the audio book to my mp3 player (usually onto an SD card) I ALWAYS make sure I "grab" the first track when I move the whole folder.
My problems have been almost nil.
The only other factor to watch out for, is if your mp3 player has a maximum number of tracks allowed which is less than the number of tracks in to book.
Feel free to ask me to clarify any of this.

I recently got an mp4 player by Acme, mostly because of its recording function which comes in handy for long lectures when I can't keep up with note taking. It plays files numerically, so I have to make sure all the numbers are at least double digit - 01 instead of 1 otherwise it doesn't follow the order. I haven't tried any m4b on it yet, but I will. Thank you for taking the trouble to clarify this for me!
