Apple MC297LL/A Searching music, Customizing the Music menu, Setting the maximum volume limit

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.

To enter a space, press Next/Fast-forward (‘).

To delete the previous character, press Previous/Rewind (]).

3Press Menu to display the results list, which you can navigate by using the Click Wheel.

Items appear in the results list with icons identifying their type: song, video, artist, album, audiobook, podcast, or iTunes U.

To return to Search (if Search is highlighted in the menu), press the Center button.

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.

Add or remove items in the Music menu:

1Choose Settings > Music Menu.

2Select each item you want to appear in the Music menu. A checkmark indicates which items have been added. To revert to the original Music menu settings, choose Reset Menu.

Setting the maximum volume limit

You can choose to set a limit for the maximum volume on iPod classic and assign a combination to prevent the setting from being changed.

Set the maximum volume limit for iPod classic:

1Choose Settings > Volume Limit, and then choose Set Volume Limit. The volume control shows the current volume.

2Use the Click Wheel to select the maximum volume limit.

You can press Play to hear the currently selected song play while you select the maximum volume limit.

3Press the Center button to set the maximum volume limit.

A triangle on the volume bar indicates the maximum volume limit.

4Press the Menu button to accept the maximum volume limit without requiring a combination to change it. Or, on the Enter Combination screen, set a combination to require that the combination be entered to change the maximum volume limit.
