On The Fly Playlist problems..
Either I am clueless, my Ipod is defective or the software decisions made by the programmers is crap.
If I am NOT listening to a song i am able to push and hold the center button and save a song to the on the go playlist. I tried it, it works so far so good.
However, I cannot for the life of me take a song that I am currently listening to and add it to mu on the go playlist without first:
remembering the song and album I am currently listening to and..
hit the menu button to get me back to the albums or artists list...
then find the song I AM listening to and THE hold the button to save it .
This is a real pain in the ###. Is there a way to save the song you are currently listening to to the playlist?

I vote for #3. I don't have a new iPod yet, but there have been many complaints here about the way that OTG playlists work. It seems like Apple wanted people to create the playlist while not listening to their iPod: cue up 10 songs before listening to anything, and then proceed to play that playlist. Any other options, like adding songs to the playlist while you're listening to it, or the problem that you ran into, weren't designed to work, if I understand correctly.

i think the idea that apple had that u added the song you wanted to listen to first to the playlist, then went to the playlist and played it. Then, you would be able to use the playlist like a playqueue. This does work but it is waaaay to complicated and annoying.

yeah the implementation's pretty bad, but still, can't help it.. at least is better than before when everything had to be pre-created on the computer... sometimes i just want to listen to certain tracks at a go, and at least the otg allows me to do this, even though not in a very efficient way
