Using Genius on iPod classic
Even when iPod classic isn’t connected to your computer, Genius can automatically
create instant playlists of songs that go great together. You can also play Genius Mixes,
which are preselected compilations of songs that go great together. You can create
Genius playlists in iTunes and add them to iPod classic, and you can sync Genius Mixes
to iPod classic.
To use Genius, you need to set up Genius in the iTunes Store, and then sync iPod classic
to iTunes (see “Turning On Genius in iTunes” on page 22).
In order for iPod classic to create a Genius playlist, Genius must recognize the selected
song, and there must be enough songs on iPod classic similar to the selected song.
