Hello f.s.u

Play a Genius Mix:

  1. On the Home screen, tap Music > Genius Mixes.
  2. Swipe left or right to browse the Genius Mixes. The dots at the bottom of the screen indicate how many Genius Mixes are on iPod nano.
  3. Tap the play button on the Genius Mix you want to play.


Note: Genius Mixes don’t work if you manually manage content. You can still manually sync Genius playlists to iPod nano, and create Genius playlists on the iPod after a manual sync of Genius content.


Regards,
