Queueing Up a List of Songs

You can set iPod to play the songs you want in the order you want. When you create a list of songs on your iPod, the songs appear in an On-The-Go playlist.

To create an On-The-Go playlist:

1Highlight a song and press and hold the Select button until the song title flashes.

2Repeat step 1 for other songs you want to add.

3Select Playlists > On-The-Go to view your list of songs.

You can also queue entire lists of songs at once. For example, to queue an album, highlight the album title and press and hold the Select button until the album title flashes.

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

nSelect Playlists > On-The-Go and select a song.

To clear the On-The-Go playlist:

nSelect Playlists > On-The-Go > Clear Playlist.

To transfer On-The-Go playlists to your computer:

nIf iPod is set to transfer songs automatically (see page 27), and you create an On-The-Go playlist, the playlist automatically transfers to iTunes when you connect iPod. You see the new On-The-Go playlist in the iTunes Source list.

Rating Songs

You can assign a rating to a song (from 1 to 5 stars) to indicate how much you like it. You can use song ratings to help you create playlists automatically in iTunes (see “About Smart Playlists” on page 26).
