Searching for a desired Song
An iPod/iPhone can contain hundreds of songs. By using file tag information and keeping these songs organized in playlists, this unit’s search functions will ease song searches.
Each music category has its own individual hierarchy. Use the Playlist/Artist/Album/Song/Podcast/Genre/Composer/ Audiobook search mode to narrow searches based on the table below.
Hierarchy 1 | Hierarchy 2 | Hierarchy 3 | Hierarchy 4 |
