Making Genius Playlists

Genius finds songs in your iTunes library that go great together. A Genius playlist is
a collection of songs that are picked for you to go with a song you choose from
your library.

You can create Genius playlists in iTunes and sync them to iPad. You can also create
and save Genius playlists on iPad.

To use Genius on iPad, first turn on Genius in iTunes, then sync iPad with iTunes.
Genius is a free service, but requires an iTunes Store account.
