On-the-Go playlists are a great way to put together a playlist on your iPod while away from your computer, but something not many people know is that the On-the-Go playlist feature can also be used to create a queue for when you want the iPod to know which songs to play next, in a sort of “Live Playlist.”
To do this, begin by finding the song you want to listen to first, or that you are currently listening to. Hold down the center button until the song name flashes, implying that the song was added to your On-the-Go list. Next, navigate to the playlists section of the iPod and select On-the-Go playlist. Select the song you just added and begin playing it. Now, whenever you want to add another song to your queue, just add it to that On-the-Go playlist and it will be added to your queue.
I am not sure how this works on the iPhone or iPod Touch, but it should work on any iPod with the On-the-Go playlist feature.

Do you wish you have Wikipedia with you 24/7 regardless of internet access? Fret no more, you can easily download (Win) Wikipedia onto your iPod with Encyclopodia.
Every iPod is supported except the 5th generation iPods (color iPods). You can choose to install multiple encyclopedias or just one. Encyclopodia will work with iPodLinux, so no worries there.

- Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
- Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn’t set to go to sleep.from apple.com
