Question ITunes and IPhone 3G

Okay, I'm not the most technical person in the world....so yet again I have another question.



How can I select just a few albums to sync with my Iphone? I don't have "playlists" on my ITunes, just a collection of about 27 GB of music!

Is there anyway to select just a few albums to sync with the Iphone?

Thanks again

You just deselect the ones you don't want to sync from the iTunes music library. Creating playlists would probably be a better option though.

Re: ITunes and IPhone 3G

i did it a different way. First off i hate iTunes. i hate the way it wants to control everything.

i've got 70gb of tunes so its not going to all fit on the phone. i created a new folder and copied a load of tracks into it. I then made that folder my iTunes library with the "add folder" option. So while WMP11 controls my main library, iTunes controls a small portion in one folder. Then i just sync that.

works a treat

Just select 'Manually manage your music' (or something along that lines), then you just drag over which albums/songs you want on the iphone.
