Refreshing a playlist creates a playlist of different songs based on the song you picked. You can refresh any Genius playlist, whether it was created in iTunes and synced to iPod touch, or created directly on iPod touch.

Base the Genius playlist on a new song: In the playlist, tap New, then pick a new song.

Delete a saved Genius playlist: In a playlist that you saved directly on iPod touch, tap Edit, then tap Delete Playlist.

Once a Genius playlist is synced back to iTunes, you won’t be able to delete it directly from iPod touch. You can use iTunes to edit the playlist name, stop syncing, or delete the playlist.
