There is an option in iTunes to the effect of "Manage files manually". It should allow you to have your whole audio library in iTunes library, while copying to iPod only what you want.


Yes, I know of that... but it is exactly opposite of what I want to do. I do not want to manage my whole audio library in iTunes. The only thing I want iTunes for is a temporary storage library for the stuff I want to put into the iPod. My library is permanent, the stuff in the iPod is definitely transient. So what I do is delete things from the iTunes library after I have listened to them on the iPod (strictly audiobooks at this time) and copy things into the iTunes library I haven't listened to yet, and then just synch to the iPod, leaving the main audio library intact.
