If iPod nano is set to update songs automatically (see “Syncing Music Automatically” on
page 28) and you create an On-The-Go playlist, the playlist is automatically copied to
iTunes when you connect iPod nano. The new On-The-Go playlist appears in the list of
playlists in iTunes. You can rename, edit, or delete the new playlist, just as you would
any playlist.
