Just do a similar "Kind is not" for all the things you don't want in there. You shouldn't have more than a few different ones. And make sure that "Match ALL" is selected.

If you "Get Info" on the file, you can see what "kind" of file it is, and then exclude that. If it's an Audible book, they have a certain "kind" attached to them. It would, however, be more difficult, I'd imagine, if you ripped the book yourself.Any thoughts on excluding an iTunes bought audiobook?
I ended up just excluding the genre (Mystery, in this case) because specifying kind would exclude music as well.
Thanks.
