Searching for a desired Song/Title An iPod can contain hundreds of songs. By keeping these songs organized in playlists, the iDA-X001 can use these to ease song searches. Using the Playlist/Artist/Album/Podcast/Audiobook/Genre/Composer/ Song search mode's individual hierarchy, you can narrow down your search as shown in the table below. Hierarchy 1 Playlists Artists Albums Podcasts Audiobooks* Genres Composers Songs Hierarchy 2 Songs Albums Songs Episodes - Artists Albums - Hierarchy 3 - Songs - - - Albums Songs - Hierarchy 4 - - - - - Songs - - * Only when connected via USB. • E.g., if there is only an album in the selected artist when USB is connected, the song search mode is selected in such a way that the album search mode is skipped. • You can select your preferred search mode. Refer to "iPod Search Mode Setting" (page 22). For example: Searching by Artist name The following example explains how an ARTIST search is performed.
