13.8. Make Playlists

You have a few ways to make playlists—those personalized song sets made up of tunes you think go great together. You can create them in iTunes and sync them over to your iPad (Section 12.10), you can make them on the iPad itself, or you can have the iPad make them for you.

In iTunes, one way to make a new playlist is to choose File→New Playlist. When the Untitled Playlist icon appears in the iTunes Source list, click once to select it—so you can type in a better name—and then drag songs from your library onto the playlist name. You can also select a bunch of tracks in the library (hold down the Control key while clicking), and choose File→New Playlist From Selection. Then sync the new playlist to the iPad (Section 11.11).
