song.
Delete a saved Genius playlist: In a playlist that you saved directly on iPod touch, tap

the playlist.
Making On-The-Go Playlists

songs in the list.
3 When you finish, tap Done.
When you make an on-the-go playlist and then sync iPod touch to your computer, the
playlist is saved on iPod touch and in your iTunes library, then deleted from iPod touch.
The first is saved as “On-The-Go 1,” the second as “On-The-Go 2,” and so on. To put a
playlist back on iPod touch, select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar, click the Music tab,
and set the playlist to sync.
Edit an on-the-go playlist: Tap Playlists, tap On-The-Go, tap Edit, then do one of the
following:
 To move a song higher or lower in the list, drag next to the song.
 To delete a song from the playlist, tap next to a song, then tap Delete. Deleting a
song from the on-the-go playlist doesn’t delete it from iPod touch.
 To clear the entire playlist, tap Clear Playlist.
