Genius
A Genius playlist is a collection of songs from your library that go great together. You can create
Genius playlists in iTunes and sync them to iPad. You can also create and save Genius playlists

A Genius Mix is a selection of songs of the same kind of music, recreated from your library each
time you listen to the mix.

synced automatically, unless you manually manage your music and choose which mixes you want
