Chapter 3 Setting up iPod shue 11
Organizing your music
In iTunes, you can organize songs and other items into lists, called playlists, in any way you want.
For example, you can create playlists with songs to listen to while exercising, or playlists with
songs for a particular mood.
You can also create Smart Playlists that update automatically based on rules you dene. When
you add songs to iTunes that match the rules, they automatically get added to the Smart Playlist.
You can turn on Genius in iTunes and create playlists of songs that go great together, based
on a song you select. Genius can also organize your iTunes library automatically by sorting and
grouping songs into collections called Genius Mixes.
You can create as many playlists as you like, using any of the songs in your iTunes library. You
can’t create a playlist on iPod shue when it’s disconnected from iTunes. Adding a song to a
playlist or later removing it doesn’t remove it from your iTunes library.
When you listen to playlists on iPod shue, all playlists created in iTunes behave the same way.
You can choose them by name on your iPod shue.
To learn how to set up playlists in iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Using Genius in iTunes
Genius nds songs in your iTunes library that go great together and uses them to create Genius
playlists and Genius Mixes. 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.
A Genius playlist is based on a song that you select. iTunes then compiles a Genius playlist of
songs that go great with the one you selected.
Genius Mixes are preselected compilations of songs that go great together. They’re created for
you by iTunes, using songs from your iTunes library. Each Genius Mix is designed to provide a
dierent 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, you rst 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 shue like any other
iTunes playlist. You can’t add Genius Mixes to iPod shue manually.
Connecting iPod shue to a computer for the rst time
The rst time you connect iPod shue to your computer after installing iTunes, iTunes opens and
the Setup Assistant appears. If iTunes doesn’t open automatically, open it yourself.
Use the iPod shue Setup Assistant:
1 Enter a name for iPod shue. This name will appear in the device list in the iTunes window.
2 Select your settings.
Automatic syncing is selected by default. If you keep this option selected and Genius is turned
on, iTunes syncs Genius Mixes from your iTunes library to iPod shue. If Genius isn’t turned on,
iTunes lls iPod shue with songs from your iTunes library and places them in the “All Songs”
playlist. For more information about automatic and manual syncing, see the next section.
