How to Create an iPod Playlist Without a Computer

The iPod has evolved a long way from the simple audio device it was introduced as in 2001. The iPod Touch and iPod Classic generations feature a number of options and menus not present on the original. With the original iPod, only iTunes and your computer could be used to make a playlist. On later versions, you can make your own playlist with a few clicks of the wheel.

• 1

  Navigate to the song on your iPod that you would like to add to a playlist. Highlight it without clicking "Play."

• 2

  Hold on the center menu button with the song highlighted and wait for the menu to appear on your screen.

• 3

  Click on the first item in the menu, which reads "Add to On-the-Go Playlist." The file is added to this playlist.

• 4

  Add other tunes in the same manner.
