Creating On-The-Go Playlists on iPod nano

You can create playlists on iPod nano, called On-The-Go Playlists, when iPod nano isn’t connected to your computer.

To create an On-The-Go playlist:

1Select a song, and then press and hold the Center button until a menu appears.

2Choose “Add to On-The-Go.”

3To add more songs, repeat steps 1 and 2.

4Choose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go to browse and play your list of songs.

You can also add a group of songs. For example, to add an album, highlight the album title, press and hold the Center button until a menu appears, and then choose “Add to On-The-Go.”

To play songs in the On-The-Go playlist:

mChoose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go, and then choose a song.

To remove a song from the On-The-Go playlist:

1Select a song in the playlist and hold down the Center button until a menu appears.

2Choose “Remove from On-The-Go,” and then press the Center button.

To clear the entire On-The-Go playlist:

mChoose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Clear Playlist, and then click Clear.

To save the On-The-Go playlist on iPod nano:

mChoose Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Save Playlist.

The first playlist is saved as “New Playlist 1” in the Playlists menu. The On-The-Go playlist is cleared. You can save as many playlists as you like. After you save a playlist, you can no longer remove songs from it.

To copy On-The-Go playlists from iPod nano to your computer:

mIf iPod nano is set to update songs automatically (see “Syncing Music Automatically” on page 28) and you create an On-The-Go playlist, the playlist is automatically copied to iTunes when you connect iPod nano. The new On-The-Go playlist appears in the list of playlists in iTunes. You can rename, edit, or delete the new playlist, just as you would any playlist.
