that match music already in the iTunes Store are automatically available in iCloud. Any remaining
songs are uploaded. You can download and play matched songs at iTunes Plus quality (256 kbps
DRM-free AAC), even if your original was of lower quality. For more information, go to

Genius

A Genius playlist is a collection of songs from your library that go great together. You can create
Genius playlists in iTunes and sync them to iPad. You can also create and save Genius playlists
directly on iPad.

A Genius Mix is a selection of songs of the same kind of music, recreated from your library each
time you listen to the mix.

To use Genius on iPad, first turn on Genius in iTunes, then sync iPad with iTunes. Genius Mixes are
synced automatically, unless you manually manage your music and choose which mixes you want
to sync in iTunes. Genius is a free service, but it requires an Apple ID.
