How to Make an On-The-Go Playlist on the iPhone
For all the great features on the iPhone, some haven’t made instant sense to me.
Perhaps it was a brain kluge on my part, but it took me a while to figure out how to create a playlist on my Iphone. With my old iPod seemed more intuitive when it came to playlist creation.
Here’s how to make an On-The-Go playlist on your iPhone. Fairly simple stuff after you learn one key idea about the iPhone playlist interface.
To Begin
Navigate to the “Ipod” located in the lower right of your Iphone’s screen.
Click the “Playlists” icon. And then, click “On-The-Go” to begin creating your playlists.
When you’re on the “On-The-Go” playlist screen, it should be empty.
Adding The First Song
Click “Edit” and then click the “+” sign.
Here’s the big tip!
At this point, you can now add any song from anywhere in your iPod such as another playlist, or the “Artists” section or the “Songs” section. Use the bottom nav to go between section and add from whatever mode you want.
In this case, I will choose “Playlists” to add a song to my new playlist from a song in another playlist.
Click the playlist in which the song is located. In this case, it’s a Coldplay song I’m after.
Then, navigate to the “+” sign next to the song. Again, in this case, it’s “Viva la Vida.”
The song will be grayed-out once you add it. You can keep adding all the songs you want from other playlists, modes – and note the “Add All Songs” button if you want to add everything from an artist, playlist, album, etc.
Finally, we’ll return to the playlist to see what it looks like after one song. And there it is, the song we added from the original Coldplay playlist.
Click “Done” and you’re done.
Presumably you put more than one song in your iPhone playlist.
