Setting Up iPod nano

You can turn on Genius in iTunes and create playlists of songs that go great together.
Genius can also organize your music library automatically by sorting and grouping it
into collections called Genius Mixes.

You can create as many playlists as you like, using any of the songs in your iTunes
library. Adding a song to a playlist or later removing it doesn’t remove it from
your library.

To learn how to set up playlists in iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Note: To create playlists on iPod nano when iPod nano isn’t connected to your
computer, see “Creating On-The-Go Playlists on iPod nano” on page 41.

Turning On Genius in iTunes

Genius finds songs in your library that go great together in order to create Genius
playlists and Genius Mixes.

A Genius playlist starts with a song that you select. To create the Genius playlist, iTunes
then compiles a collection of songs that go great with the one you selected.

Genius Mixes are pre-selected compilations of songs that go great together, and are
created for you by iTunes using songs from your library. Genius Mixes are designed to
provide a different listening experience each time you play one. iTunes creates up to
12 Genius Mixes, depending on the variety of music in your iTunes library.

To use Genius on iPod nano to create Genius playlists and Genius Mixes, you first need
to turn on Genius in iTunes. To learn about turning on and using Genius in iTunes, open
iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Genius playlists and Genius Mixes created in iTunes can be synced to iPod nano like
any iTunes playlist. Genius Mixes can’t be added to iPod nano manually. See “Syncing
Genius Playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod nano” on page 26.

Genius is a free service, but an iTunes Store account is required to use it (if you don’t
have an account, you can set one up when you turn on Genius).
