Definition of On The Go Playlist

By Sam Costello, About.com

Definition:

On-The-Go Playlist – An On-The-Go Playlist is a playlist that can be created and saved on the iPod or iPhone, rather than in iTunes.

Though traditional playlists are created in iTunes, On-The-Go Playlists are built directly on the iPod or iPhone, using the device’s interface. By employing this feature, users can create their own playlists even when away from their computers.

Creating an On-The-Go Playlist requires an iPod or iPhone with a screen; On-The-Go Playlists cannot be created in the iPod Shuffle.
