Genius Mixes are preselected compilations of songs that go great together. They’re created for you by iTunes using songs from your library. Each Genius Mix is designed to provide a different listening experience each time you play it. iTunes creates up to 12 Genius Mixes, based on the variety of music in your iTunes library.

To create Genius playlists and Genius Mixes on iPod classic, you first need to turn on Genius in iTunes. For information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Genius playlists and Genius Mixes created in iTunes can be synced to iPod classic like any iTunes playlist. You can’t add Genius Mixes to iPod classic manually. See Syncing Genius playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod classic on page 20.

Genius is a free service, but you need an iTunes Store account to use it. If you don’t have an account, you can set one up when you turn on Genius.

Importing video to iTunes

There are several ways to import video into iTunes, described below.

Purchase or rent videos and download video podcasts from the iTunes Store

To purchase videos—movies, TV shows, and music videos—or rent movies online from the iTunes Store (part of iTunes and available in some countries only), you sign in to your iTunes Store account, find the videos you want, and then buy or rent them.

A rented movie expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it (rental requirements may vary outside the U.S.), whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. These terms apply to U.S. rentals. Rental terms vary among countries.

To enter the iTunes Store, open iTunes and click iTunes Store (under Store) on the left side of the iTunes window.

You can view a movie trailer or TV show preview by clicking the Preview button next to it.

Purchased videos appear when you select Movies or TV Shows (under Library) or Purchased (under Store) in the list on the left side of the iTunes window. Rented videos appear when you select Rented Movies (under Library).

Some items have other options, such as TV shows that let you buy a Season Pass for all episodes.

Video podcasts appear alongside other podcasts in the iTunes Store. You can subscribe to them and download them just as you would other podcasts. You don’t need an iTunes Store account to download podcasts. See Purchase songs and download podcasts using the iTunes Store on page 15.

Create versions of your own videos to work with iPod classic

You can view other video files on iPod classic, such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac or videos you download from the Internet. Import the video into iTunes, convert it for use with iPod classic, if necessary, and then add it to iPod classic.

iTunes supports many of the video formats that QuickTime supports. For more information, see If you can’t add a song or other item to iPod classic on page 50.
