Genius
A Genius playlist is a collection of songs from your library that go great together. You can create
Genius playlists in iTunes and sync them to iPod touch. You can also create and save Genius
playlists directly on iPod touch.
A Genius Mix is a selection of songs of the same kind of music, recreated from your library each
time you listen to the mix.
To use Genius on iPod touch, first turn on Genius in iTunes, then sync iPod touch with iTunes.
Genius Mixes are synced automatically, unless you manually manage your music and choose

specifically chosen to sync.
