Using iPod Controls
The controls on iPod are easy to find and use. Press any button to turn on iPod. The main menu appears.
iPod Music Photos Videos Extras Settings Shuffle Songs
Use the Click Wheel and Center button to navigate through onscreen menus, play songs, change settings, and view information. Move your thumb lightly around the Click Wheel to select a menu item. To choose the item, press the Center button. To go back to the previous menu, press Menu on the Click Wheel.
Here's what else you can do with iPod controls.
Scrolling Quickly Through Long Lists
If you have more than 100 songs, videos, or other items, you can scroll quickly through a long list by moving your thumb quickly on the Click Wheel.
Note: Not all languages are supported.
To scroll quickly:
1 Move your thumb quickly on the Click Wheel, to display a letter of the alphabet on the screen.
2 Use the Click Wheel to navigate the alphabet until you find the first letter of the item you're looking for.
This takes you to the first item in the list beginning with that letter. Items beginning with a symbol or number appear before the letter "A."
3 Lift your thumb momentarily (or stop moving your thumb for about one second) to return to normal scrolling.
4 Use the Click Wheel to finish navigating to the item you want.
Searching Music
You can search iPod for songs, playlists, album titles, artist names, audio podcasts, and audiobooks. The search feature does not search videos, notes, calendar items, contacts, or lyrics.
Note: Not all languages are supported.
To search iPod:
1 From the Music menu, choose Search.
2 Enter a search string by using the Click Wheel to navigate the alphabet and pressing the Center button to "enter" each character.
iPod starts searching as soon as you enter the first character, displaying the results on the search screen. For example, if you enter "b," then iPod displays all music items containing the letter "b." If you enter "ab," iPod displays all items containing that sequence of letters.
To enter a space, press the Next/Fast-forward button.
To delete the previous character, click the back arrow or press the Previous/Rewind button.
