Organizing Your Music
Using iTunes, you can organize songs and other items into lists, called playlists. You can organize them in any way you want. For example, you can make playlists with songs to listen to while exercising, or playlists with songs for a particular mood.
You can also make Smart Playlists that update automatically based on rules you define. When you add songs to iTunes that fit the rules, they automatically get added to the Smart Playlist.
