Audiobooks on the iPhone

[mattmill]

I was wondering how the audiobooks playlist works. I have many books in itunes that I have not listened to yet, as well as some that I have finished. How do I just pick one or two from that list to transfer to the iPhone? I don't want 14 books transfered, just 3 right now.

Thanks,
matt

I created an "Audio" playlist, put the books on there that I wanted on my iPhone, and then told it to also sync that playlist. I have about 3 of my 15 unread books on the iPhone. One of which I started yesterday. I'm not happy with the iPod controls on the iPhone. If I want to rewind just a little bit of a book, you have to take the edge of your nail to move the bar a little bit. Very difficult to do while driving.

Thanks, I was afraid that would be the way to do it. Are the audiobook files still excluded from shuffling songs? I would hate for them to pop up in a shuffle.

I never use the shuffle function - so I'm not sure about that. I create a lot of smart playlists and manage my music that way.
