Hi
I own an Ipod classic and synchronize all my Itunes library on.
However, I cannot find the different Mix Genius I have on my computer on my Ipod play list which seems to be contradictory with what the user manual says.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks for help.

iTunes 12.7 has introduced some major changes. Legacy documentation is likely to be out of date. iPod Clickwheel Games can no longer be added to or removed from the device. Looking at what is available if I choose to sync selected music content I can see Genius Playlists, but not Genius Mixes. I don't think there would be a difference between syncing the entire library, or syncing with selected content, and then selecting all options, so it looks like Genius Mixes have been dropped, whether by accident or design.
You can make a plea for their return at Feedback - iTunes - Apple.

The iPod classic doesn't support any of the Genius features. You should be able to sync a Genius playlist created in iTunes.

Thanks for your rapid answer.
However, I am still doubtfull on the fact that " The iPod classic doesn't support any of the Genius features" because that contredicts what the user guide says:
"Syncing Genius Playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod classic
You can set iTunes to sync Genius playlists and Genius Mixes to iPod classic.
Genius playlists can be added to iPod classic manually. Genius Mixes can only be
synced automatically, so you can’t add Genius Mixes to iPod classic if you manage your
content manually.
If you select any Genius Mixes to sync, iTunes may select and sync additional songs
from your library that you didn’t select.
To set iTunes to sync Genius playlists and selected Genius Mixes to iPod classic
:
1 In iTunes, select iPod classic in the device list and click the Music tab.
2 Select “Sync music,” and then choose “Selected playlists, artists, and genres.”
3 Under Playlists, select the Genius playlists and Genius Mixes you want.
4 Click Apply.
If you choose to sync your entire music library, iTunes syncs all your Genius playlists
and Genius Mixes.
If “Sync only checked songs and videos” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs
only items that are checked."
Have I not understood ?
Thanks for help.
