You can turn on Genius in iTunes and create playlists of songs that go great together, based on a song you select. Genius can also organize your iTunes library automatically by sorting and grouping songs into collections called Genius Mixes. You can create as many playlists as you like, using any of the songs in your iTunes library. You can't create a playlist on iPod shuffle when it's disconnected from iTunes. Adding a song to a playlist or later removing it doesn't remove it from your iTunes library. When you listen to playlists on iPod shuffle, all playlists created in iTunes behave the same way. You can choose them by name on your iPod shuffle. To learn how to set up playlists in iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help. 14 Chapter 3 Setting Up iPod shuffle
