I really wish there was a way to divide up my wishlist on Audible into different categories or lists. I have over 180 books on my wishlist. I'd like to have all the whispersync books in one category, and all the books that cost less than a credit in one category. And a category for books I wouldn't spend a whole credit on, but which I keep on my wishlist so Audible will tell me when they're on sale. And I'd also like to make categories by genre - sometimes I feel like spending my credit on a history book, other times a work of literature, sometimes a light read. At the moment I have to plough through 10 pages of stuff and it hardly feels worth it, so my credits just pile up. I've started an excel spreadsheet to keep track of them all, but it seems silly when it's something Audible could implement themselves.

Yes, like how Amazon lets you set up lots of different wishlists... That would definitely be a *great* feature for helping manage wishlists that grow ever longer and more unwieldy, especially since you can only see 20 items at a time on the wishlist page!
This is a brilliant idea. I'd put a lot more energy into my WL if I could sort it as you suggest.
I agree with these suggestions. Just being able to search your wishlist would be a good start though. I mean you can search your library, but not your wishlist.
I like these suggestions, too, both the addition of searching and the ability to have multiple wish lists. It would make my long wish list (120+ books) so much more manageable. I've had to start a list on a Google doc of which books on my wish list are the highest priority for my credits vs. those I'm watching to go on sale.
At least they finally added automatic removal of wishlist items on purchase in the last few weeks or so I think. Prior, you'd have to manually go and step through your wishlist to find them and clean them up...
I totally agree..... I'm still hoping that they will let me separate my rated from my unrated to keep track of what I have not read. I actually have to keep up with my books on my iPad because while on the app; if I start to download the ones I have not read and then choose to remove them immediately after they start downloading, they will come to the top of my library and then I can keep track of what I have not read or rated.

And it's true, going through the WL to remove purchased titles was a pain.
I agree with the suggestions here. It would be great to do more with the Wish List and make it an even more helpful tool. I find myself reluctant to add more titles to my WL after it gets to a certain point because it becomes too tedious to search so many pages. And does anyone else have the problem of returning to the first page of the WL after adding an item to the Cart? The way the pages are listed, with an ellipsis after page 2 and then only the last page, I have to keep clicking back through all the pages again to get back to where I was if I wasn't finished reviewing the WL. Believe me, when you have to use a screen reader and listen to all those links over and over... it's not the kind of audio experience I'm looking for on Audible ;P

I often try sorting it by author, making it a bit easier to find them, but it so often just breaks between pages and the next page has 3/4 of the titles from the last page.
It really really is horrid at the moment

And if you delete a title from your wishlist, the same thing happens, so even trying to clean up your wishlist is a pain.
