Chapter 2 Setting Up iPod classic 19

Organizing Your Music

In iTunes, you can organize songs and other items into lists, called playlists, in any way

you want. For example, you can create playlists with songs to listen to while exercising,

or playlists with songs for a particular mood.

You can create Smart Playlists that update automatically based on rules you define.

When you add songs to iTunes that match the rules, they automatically get added to

the Smart Playlist.

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

songs 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 classic when iPod classic isn’t connected to your

computer, see “Creating On-The-Go Playlists on iPod classic” on page 33.

Turning On Genius in iTunes

Genius finds songs in your library that go great together and uses them to create

Genius playlists and Genius Mixes.

A Genius playlist is based on a song that you select. iTunes then compiles a Genius

playlist of songs that go great with the one you selected.

Genius Mixes are preselected compilations of songs that go great together. They’re

created for you by iTunes, using songs from your library. Each Genius Mix is designed

to provide a different listening experience each time you play it. iTunes creates up to

12 Genius Mixes, based on the variety of music in your iTunes library.

To create Genius playlists and Genius Mixes on iPod classic, you first need to turn on

Genius in iTunes. For information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Genius playlists and Genius Mixes created in iTunes can be synced to iPod classic like

any iTunes playlist. You can’t add Genius Mixes to iPod classic manually. See “Syncing

Genius Playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod classic” on page 23.

Genius is a free service, but you need an iTunes Store account to use it. If you don’t

have an account, you can set one up when you turn on Genius.
