Apple Touch OS 3.0 User Manual

Genius automatically creates a playlist of songs from your library that go great 
together. 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.  

  Tap Playlists and tap Genius.

  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.
Refreshing a playlist creates a playlist of different songs based on the song you picked. 
You can refresh any Genius playlist, whether it was created in iTunes and synced to 
iPod touch, or created directly on iPod touch.
Base the Genius playlist on a new song:  In the playlist, tap New, then pick a new song.
Delete a saved Genius playlist:  In a playlist that you saved directly on iPod touch, tap 
Edit, then tap Delete Playlist.
Once a Genius playlist is synced back to iTunes, you won’t be able to delete it directly 
from iPod touch. You can use iTunes to edit the playlist name, stop syncing, or delete 
the playlist.
