Using Genius on iPod touch

Genius finds songs in your iTunes library that go great together. A Genius playlist is a collection of songs that are picked for you to go with a song you choose from your library. A Genius Mix is a selection of songs of the same kind of music. Genius Mixes are recreated each time you listen to them, so they’re always new and fresh.

You can create Genius playlists in iTunes and sync them to iPod touch. You can also create and save Genius playlists directly on iPod touch.
