All Music Smart Playlist

[Tyranicus]

Back before I had an iPhone, I had my 30GB iPod set up to hold my entire library. Then I got a 16GB iPhone. This meant I had to pick and choose, so I start syncing via playlists. I just got a new 32G iPhone, and I would like to put all my music on it again. The only problem is that my audiobook collection has grown quite a bit since I had my iPod. I can't fit all my audiobooks on my iPhone, but this is alright because I only need the ones I'm currently listening to. However, because I can't fit all my audiobooks on here, I am unable to set it to sync all music. I got around this problem by dragging all my songs into a massive playlist and syncing that. However, this means, I will have to manually add all new songs to this playlist. Is there any way to create a Smart Playlist that will contain all my music?

Set your Audiobooks to the genre 'Audiobook' and then create a Smart Playlist that excludes that genre.

I'm a real idiot. There already is a Music smart playlist by default.
