Using iPod mini

Using iTunes, you can organize songs into playlists. For example, you can create a 

playlist with songs to listen to while exercising or with songs for a particular mood.

You can create as many playlists as you like using any of the songs in your computer’s 

music library. Putting a song in a playlist doesn’t remove it from the library.

When you connect and update iPod mini, the playlists are transferred to iPod mini. To 

browse through playlists, select Music > Playlists on iPod mini.

Using iTunes, you can automatically create customized Smart Playlists from the songs 

in your library. You can create a Smart Playlist that includes only certain genres of 

music, songs by certain artists, or songs that match particular criteria. For example, you 

could create a playlist that’s no more than 3 gigabytes (GB) in size and includes only 

songs you have rated 3 stars or higher (see “Rating Songs” on page 18).

After you create a Smart Playlist, any songs on iPod mini that meet the Smart Playlist’s 

criteria are automatically added to the Smart Playlist.

In iTunes, click the Add (+) button and type a name for the playlist, then drag songs 

from the library or another playlist to the new playlist.

n

In iTunes, choose File > New Smart Playlist and choose the criteria for your playlist. Any 

songs from your library that match the criteria you choose are automatically added to 

the playlist.
