Searching for a desired Song

An iPod can contain hundreds of songs. By using file tag information

and keeping these songs organised 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 search mode to narrow

searches based on the table below.

For example: Searching by Artist name

The following example explains how an ARTIST search is performed.

Another search mode can be used for the same operation, although the

hierarchy differs.

Direct Search Function

The unit’s direct search function can be used to search for an album,

song, etc., more efficiently. In Playlist/Artist/Album/Song/Podcast/

Genre/Composer mode, you can quickly target any song.

In the search mode, press any one of the preset

buttons (1 through 6) to quickly skip over a

designated percent of your song content.

Song search example:

If there are 100 songs in your iPod, they are divided into 6

groups using percentages (shown below). These groups are

assigned to the preset buttons (1 through 6).

Example 1:

Suppose the song you are searching for is located at around

the middle (50%) of your library: press button 4 to jump to the

50th song and press or to find the desired song.

Example 2:

Suppose the song you are searching for is located near the

end (83%) of your library: press button 6 to jump to the 83rd

song and press or to find the desired song.
