Apple iPod touch iOS 3.0 - Manual (Page 50)

Using Genius on iPod touch
Genius automatically creates a playlist of songs from your library that go great
together. It’s like having a built-in DJ who knows your tastes well enough to make the
right mix just for you. To use Genius on iPod touch, you first need to set up Genius
in iTunes, then sync iPod touch with iTunes. Genius is a free service, but it requires
an iTunes Store Account. You can make Genius playlists in iTunes and sync them to
iPod touch. You can also make Genius playlists directly on iPod touch.
Make a Genius playlist on iPod touch:
1 Tap Playlists and tap Genius.
2 Tap a song in the list. Genius creates a playlist with additional songs based on that song.
You can also make a Genius playlist based on the song you’re playing. From the Now
Playing screen, tap the album cover to display additional controls, then tap .
Save a Genius playlist: In the playlist, tap Save. The playlist is saved in Playlists with
the title of the song you picked.
You can make and save as many Genius playlists as you want. If you save a Genius
playlist created on iPod touch, it’s synced back to iTunes the next time you connect.
Refresh a Genius playlist: In the playlist, tap Refresh.
Refreshing a playlist creates a playlist of different songs based on the song you picked.
You can refresh any Genius playlist, whether it was created in iTunes and synced to
iPod touch, or created directly on iPod touch.
Base the Genius playlist on a new song: In the playlist, tap New, then pick a new song.
Delete a saved Genius playlist: In a playlist that you saved directly on iPod touch, tap
Edit, then tap Delete Playlist.
Once a Genius playlist is synced back to iTunes, you won’t be able to delete it directly
from iPod touch. You can use iTunes to edit the playlist name, stop syncing, or delete
the playlist.
