Playlists are named, saved collections stored in clickwheel’s catalog. They show up under Music → Playlists on the iPod once synced.

Create and edit

You can edit by artist or by individual song. The interactive editor offers “Add songs” / “Remove songs” (search, then check the tracks you want). The same is scriptable with a track’s full library path:

Put a playlist on the iPod

See Sync to iPod for the full flow.

Playlists vs. loading the device

Two different things, easy to mix up:
  • Just adding music: you want tracks browsable by artist and album on the iPod. No named playlist needed, see Sync to iPod.
  • A playlist: a named collection that shows up under Music → Playlists on the device.
These playlists can also go to Plex/Plexamp and Apple Music.
