Creating Playlists On Your iPod
TMO Quick Tip - Creating Playlists On Your iPod
by , 7:30 AM EST, March 5th, 2007
Making Playlists in iTunes for your iPod is easy enough, but what about creating Playlists on your iPod? No problem. Here's how:
- Navigate to a song, Playlist title, album, or artist name on your iPod.
- Press and hold the Click Wheel center button until the highlighted item flashes to add the item to your On-the-Go Playlist.
 Press and hold the center button to add tracks to your On-The-Go Playlist. |
|---|
To play the tracks in your iPod's On-The-Go Playlist, navigate to Music > Playlists > On-The-Go. Be sure to either play a track in your On-The-Go Playlist within 36 hours of creating it, otherwise the entire Playlist may be deleted. Alternately, you can navigate to Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Save Playlist to save your new Playlist.
 Save and Clear options are in the On-The-Go Playlist. |
|---|
Clearing your On-The-Go Playlist is easy, too. Just navigate to Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Clear Playlist.
You can create On-The-Go Playlists only on iPods with displays. If you have a first or second generation iPod shuffle, you are out of luck.
