Making Playlists on iPod

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:

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

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

3 Select Music > 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:

Select Music > Playlists > On-The-Go and select a song.

To remove a song from the On-The-Go playlist:

Highlight a song in the playlist, and hold down the Select button until the song title flashes.

To clear the entire On-The-Go playlist:

Select Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Clear Playlist.

To save On-The-Go playlists on your iPod:

Select Music > Playlists > On-The-Go > Save Playlist > Save Playlist.

The first playlist is saved as “New Playlist 1” in the Playlists menu. The On-The-Go playlist is cleared. You can save as many On-The-Go playlists as you like.

Using iPod 17

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

If iPod is set to transfer songs automatically (see page 28), 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. You can rename or delete the new playlist, just as you would any other playlist in iTunes.

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 27).

To rate a song:

1 Start playing the song.

2 From the Now Playing screen, press the Select button two or three times, until you see

the rating screen (showing either bullet points, stars, or a combination of both).

3 Use the Click Wheel to select a rating.

18 Using iPod

2 Choose “Display album artwork on your iPod.”

To see album artwork on your iPod:

1 Play a song that has album artwork.

that song doesn’t have album artwork, or you need to set iTunes to allow iPod to display album artwork (see above).

For more information about album artwork, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Connecting and Disconnecting iPod

You connect iPod to your computer to transfer music and photos, and, in most cases, to charge the battery.

To connect iPod to your computer:

Plug the included iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable in to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer, then connect the other end to iPod.

Or, if you have an iPod Dock (see page 22), connect the cable to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer and connect the other end to the Dock. Then put iPod in the Dock.

Note: If your computer doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port but has a FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) port, you can use an iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable (available for purchase at www.apple.com/ipodstore).

By default, iPod imports songs automatically when you connect it to your computer. When this automatic transfer is done, you can disconnect iPod.

Using iPod 19

If you connect iPod to a different computer and it is set to transfer songs automatically, iTunes prompts you before transferring any music.

Disconnecting iPod

You shouldn’t disconnect iPod while music is being transferred. You can easily see if it’s OK to disconnect iPod by looking at the screen.

If you see the main menu or a large battery icon, you can disconnect iPod from your computer.

If you see this message, you must eject iPod before disconnecting it from your computer.

If you set iPod to transfer songs manually (see page 29) or enable iPod for disk use (see page 48), you must eject iPod before disconnecting it.

20 Using iPod

To eject iPod:

Click the Eject button ( ) next to iPod in the iTunes Source list.

If you’re using a Mac, you can also eject iPod by dragging the iPod icon on the desktop to the Trash.

If you’re using a Windows PC, you can eject iPod by clicking the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray and selecting your iPod.

To disconnect iPod:

• If iPod is connected to an iPod cable, squeeze both sides of the Dock connector to disconnect the cable from iPod.

• If iPod is in the Dock, simply remove it.

Important: Don’t disconnect iPod if you see the “Do not disconnect” message. You

could damage files on iPod. If you see this message, you must eject iPod before disconnecting it.

Using iPod 21

Connecting iPod Using the iPod Dock (Available Separately)
