Kevin, Did you see my post from a couple of months ago about using smart playlists? That's probably a useful starting point. Smart playlists live update their conditions. Here's an example of what happens if you sync to a smart playlist for an audiobook made of multiple mp3 sections that demonstrates the way that syncing and also smart playlists work.
If you have an MP3 audiobook that you want to play from a smart playlist, and you have selected all the tracks in this book (Command- A), used Get Info (Command-I) to edit it, navigated to the Options Tab, and set the pop up for Media Kind to "Audiobook", and the pop ups for Remember Position and Skip when shuffling to "Yes" so the tracks will show up under Audiobooks and "bookmark" their last location, you can set up a smart playlist. The rules would be: 1. <Album> <is> <"Name of Album"> 2. <Play count> <is> "0" As you listen to the audiobook on your iPod by playing from the smart playlist, bookmarking remembers your current position in the current track, which is always at the top of the smart playlist. As you finish listening to tracks, they drop off the smart playlist (but are still on your iPod if you search by Artist, Genre, Album, etc.). When you sync your smart playlist again, the tracks you have listened to will be removed from the iPod (just as they are no longer on the smart playlist). Hope that helps.
