I need help with genius!

Hello Jonahschiasmule,

For all things Genius playlists, take a look at the section below from the iPod nano User Guide to assist with you setting that up. It is on page 24 if you want to read it directly from the user guide.

Creating Genius playlists

A Genius playlist is a collection of songs that go with a song you choose from your library. You can create Genius playlists on iPod nano, and sync Genius playlists you create with iTunes.

Genius is a free service, but you need an iTunes Store account to use it. To learn how to set up Genius in iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Create a Genius playlist on iPod nano:

1. Play a song, then tap the Now Playing screen.
2. Tap the genius icon.

The new playlist appears. You see a message if:

• You didn’t turn Genius on in iTunes.
• Genius doesn’t recognize the song you select.
• Genius recognizes the song, but there aren’t at least ten similar songs in your library.

1. Flick up or down to see the songs in the playlist.
2. Tap Save.

The playlist is saved with the artist name and song title of the song you used to make the playlist.

If you refresh a saved playlist, the new playlist replaces the previous one, and you can’t recover the previous playlist.

Genius playlists saved on iPod nano are synced back to iTunes when you connect iPod nano to your computer.

Playing Genius Mixes

iTunes automatically creates Genius Mixes that contain songs from your library that go great together. Genius Mixes provide a different listening experience each time you play one.

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 on the Genius Mix you want to play.

Regards,
