Using Genius on iPod nano
When iPod nano isn’t connected to your computer, Genius can still automatically create
instant playlists of songs that go great together. To use Genius, you need to set up
Genius in the iTunes Store, and then sync iPod nano to iTunes. You can also create
Genius playlists in iTunes and add them to iPod nano.
To set up Genius in iTunes, see “Using Genius in iTunes” on page 25.
To make a Genius playlist with iPod nano:
1 Select a song, and then press and hold the Center button until a menu appears.
You can select a song from a menu or playlist, or you can start from the Now Playing
screen.
2 Choose Start Genius, and then press the Center button. The new playlist appears.
Start Genius doesn’t appear if any of the following apply:
 You haven’t set up Genius in iTunes and then synced iPod nano to iTunes.
 Genius doesn’t recognize the song you’ve selected.
 Genius recognizes the song but there aren’t at least ten similar songs in your library.
3 To keep the playlist, choose Save Playlist.
The playlist is saved with the song title and artist of the song you used to make the
playlist.
4 To change the playlist to a new one based on the same song, choose Refresh. If you
refresh a saved playlist, the new playlist replaces the previous one. You can’t recover the
previous playlist.
You can also start Genius from the Now Playing screen by pressing the Center button
until you see the Genius slider, and then using the Click Wheel to move the slider to the
right. The Genius slider won’t appear if Genius doesn’t recognize the song that’s
playing.
Genius playlists saved on iPod nano sync to iTunes when you connect iPod nano to
your computer.
