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.
