Hi spojaw,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


To go to the Home screen, press the Home button . 

To Open the Music app: Tap it.


If you can't find an app: use Spotlight to find and open it.


NB: Spotlight also searches in the Music app:

ie: for Names of songs, artists, and albums, and the titles of podcasts and videos

View Playlists,

tap Add Playlist near the top of the list, then enter a title.

Tap to add songs and videos,

then tap Done.


Edit a playlist: Select the playlist to edit, then tap Edit.

    • Add more songs: Tap +.
    • Delete a song: Tap round red - icon. Deleting a song from a playlist doesn’t delete it from iPod touch.
    • Change the song order: Drag three horizontal bars icon.
    • New and changed playlists are copied to your iTunes library the next time you sync iPod touch with your computer, or via iCloud if you’ve subscribed to iTunes Match.
    • Clear or delete a playlist: Select the playlist, then tap Clear or Delete. Delete a song from iPod touch: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    • The song is deleted from iPod touch, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud".


All the best :-)
