Using Genius on iPod touch
Genius automatically creates a playlist of songs from your library that go great
together with the song you’re playing. 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.
