A playlist is similar to a folder. It allows you to group together types of music, mixes, or any combination of songs.

To create iTunes playlist, click on the ‘Create a Playlist’ button at the bottom left side of your iTunes user interface…it looks like a plus sign +…or you can choose ‘New Playlist’ from the top of the 'File' menu.

This will give you a blank playlist under the 'Devices' menu on the left-hand side of your iTunes interface.

Type in the name of the new playlist and press enter. Your playlists will be alphabetically ordered by iTunes.

To add songs to your playlist, click and drag the titles over the playlist and drop them in. Your new playlist will be automatically updated on your iPod the next time you connect it to your computer…unless you chose to update it manually.

The new playlist will automatically show up on your iPod when you choose ‘Playlists’ from the 'Music' menu. To listen to a song, select the playlist and song and press play. It will now only play the songs in this playlist.

How To Update iPod Manually

If you have an extensive iTunes library you may want to update your iPod manually. Connect your iPod to your computer.

Open iTunes and click on ‘Users iPod’ under ‘Devices’ on the left hand side of iTunes user interface.

Click on 'Summary' and you will see the details of your iPod, its 'Version' and 'Options'. Under 'Options' check the box that says 'Manually manage music'.

A dialog box will appear saying that “are you sure you want to manually manage music and videos on your iPod” in which you should click 'OK'.

Note: You will need to manually eject your iPod from your computer before it can be disconnected safely if you choose to manage your songs manually.
