Bug Description

When synching calibre with iTunes, if you happen to have an eBook and an Audiobook by the same name, calibre shows the eBook as in the iTunes library, even if iTunes only has the Audiobook.

One would assume (I applied the rational man test :-) that calibre filters out Audiobooks from the iTunes library before comparing the iTunes library with the cailbre database.

Last seen on calibre 0.9.6, running on Windows 7 x64.

My apologies if this has been noted previously, I performed a cursory search of the bug list before posting.

I need to see a debug trace.

Open a command prompt window, change to your desktop directory, then type

calibre-debug -g > debug.txt

Connect to iTunes so that the problem you're describing occurs, then exit calibre.

Attach the debug.txt file to this ticket.

Here you go
As you can see, the synch returns many files of type AAC audio file. I assume MP3s have the same problem, both caused by the "loose" interpretation of "books" by iTunes.

An example of a book that causes a problem:
The Bodies Left Behind, by Jeffery Deaver - Even when the eBook is not in iTunes, calibre reports that it is, because it picks up the audiobook.
You can also see this when you go to the Device view in calibre - calibre shows audiobooks in the list, instead of just ebooks.
