No, they'll appear as SOUND FILES... which is what they are anyway.
All you need is a player with a bookmarking function. I've mapped my camera key WHILE playing SOUND FILES to the bookmark function. So when I'm done and want to do something else, I press that button, bookmark, and I'm done.

Due to the fact that m4b is supported for iPod, I dont see how/why you say it isnt.
|
We have a communication problem. I said it isn't well supported OFF the ipod. So you saying it's well supported on the ipod doesn't really address my point.

Once metadata is lost or cant be read, everything shows up as track 1, track 2, and so on. There are no titles, no artists, no nothing.

No, it shows up as whatever the file's name happens to be... which isn't a problem unless your mp3's are mislabeled.
As to artists or genres that's what folders are for. Do you want to put everything in one giant folder? Or make sub folders for genre and artist?
Metadata basically makes up for bad organization skills on computers. Which is understandable as many people have that problem. However, it's REALLY not that hard.

I dont/wont spend countless hours re-doing my library because my phone wants to screw it up.

Get used to it. Take your play list almost anywhere else and you'll probably have to change something unless you're working in the most compatible of formats.
I personally didn't have to do ANYTHING to get my music and audio books working on my phone... I keep all my files in MP3 and have never bothered with metadata... finding just editing the file name to be easier.
