I don't have an iPod . I do however have a Creative Zen. I don't bother with playlists. I used to but then I'd want to listen to a song that wasn't on the current playlist and it is fiddly to navigate back and forth on the Zen. Nowadays on the rare occasions when I do use it I just set it to random play.

I just have one playlist with all my favourite tunes, then have it on shuffle, does the job!

I don't really use a playlist, I just turn on random stuff depending on my mood

Same as. I've never made any sort of playlist, it looks like a awful load of hassle to make anyway. Depending on what I feel like I just pick an album and play it. I don't think I've ever even used the 'shuffle' mode on my mp3 player.

Only time I ever set aside playlists is to listen to new stuff I have got

I'm sure shuffle must use up a bit of battery power surely. I've turned off shuffle on for that reason. What I do instead is shuffle them by clicking on the shuffle button at the bottom. I do that everytime I've finished a playlist so I'll never have to listen to them in the exact same order.;)

LOVE the genius playlists! It usually finds stuff I've forgotten I had on there.

Mostly metal and audio book stuff on my Creative Zen. The only playlist is of a recent setlist by Amon Amarth, that i have copied, but using the tracks taken from the relevant studio albums. I found the playlist setup function on the Zen to be awkward and not in any way intuitive.

Playlists? How about Music -> Artists -> Clutch -> All. Nuff said.
