Searching music
You can search iPod classic for songs, playlists, album titles, artist names, audio podcasts, and audiobooks. The search feature doesn’t search videos, notes, calendar items, contacts, or lyrics.
Note: Not all languages are supported.
Search for music:
1From the Music menu, choose Search.
2Enter a search string by using the Click Wheel to navigate the alphabet and pressing the Center button to enter each character.
iPod classic starts searching as soon as you enter the first character, displaying the results on the search screen. For example, if you enter “b,” iPod classic displays all music items containing the letter “b.” If you enter “ab,” iPod classic displays all items containing that sequence of letters.

Customizing the Music menu
You can add items to or remove them from the Music menu, just as you do with the main menu. For example, you can add a Compilations item to the Music menu, so you can easily choose compilations that are put together from various sources.

1Choose Settings > Music Menu.
