Queueing Up a List of Songs
You can set iPod to play the songs you want in the order you want. When you create a
list of songs on your iPod, the songs appear in an On-The-Go playlist.

1
Highlight a song and press and hold the Select button until the song title flashes.
2
Repeat step 1 for other songs you want to add.
3
Select Playlists > On-The-Go to view your list of songs.
You can also queue entire lists of songs at once. For example, to queue an album,
highlight the album title and press and hold the Select button until the album title
flashes.
To play songs in the On-The-Go playlist:
n
Select Playlists > On-The-Go and select a song.
To clear the On-The-Go playlist:
n
Select Playlists > On-The-Go > Clear Playlist.
To transfer On-The-Go playlists to your computer:

If iPod is set to transfer songs automatically (see page 27), and you create an
On-The-Go playlist, the playlist automatically transfers to iTunes when you connect
iPod. You see the new On-The-Go playlist in the iTunes Source list.
Rating Songs
You can assign a rating to a song (from 1 to 5 stars) to indicate how much you like it.
You can use song ratings to help you create playlists automatically in iTunes (see
“About Smart Playlists” on page 26).
