Want to make a playlist away from your Mac or PC? Queue up as many songs as you like on iPod or iPod mini. When you create a list of songs on your iPod, the songs appear in an On-The-Go playlist. iTunes saves playlists to your computer next time you autosync.

iPod

Make sure to save the playlist after you create it on your iPod. While there is a Save Playlist command, you need to play a song--any song--for iPod to save the list to its hard disk. If you don't save the playlist by playing a song, it could be lost if you don't use iPod for more than 36 hours.

The On-The-Go playlist is a feature that can be used with any iPod that includes a Dock Connector. This includes iPod (with Dock Connector), iPod mini, and iPod (Click Wheel). The Save Playlist feature is available only on iPod (Click Wheel).
