Create playlists on the fly with your iPod, iPod Touch or iPod Classic.
The iPod Nano, iPod Touch and iPod Classic allow users to create playlists directly on the iPod itself. This way, you don't have to use the iTunes desktop application to create playlists to sync to your iPod. Cut out unnecessary steps and create an instant playlist on your iPod Nano, Touch or Classic using the songs and albums already in your iPod library.
