Scrolling through iPod list is brutal!

[joe215]

I have a Premium Plus.

Very happy that i get iPod integration without Tech package, but scrolling through the artist list is very slow and time consuming.

I have about 5000 songs on my iPod from at least a hundred artists.

They need to figure a way to "fast scroll" like the iPod does, or have the ability to start a search by selecting the first letter of the artist name.

Has anyone found a better way to deal with this?

Nope,

It is really a bummer. I've got over 8,000 songs and it's impossible to get to anything far down the list. I thought of creating playlists like A-H, I-O, etc., but it seems to set up the playlists by song name rather than artist name. Any thoughts?

From an earlier thread, maybe this will help:

"It takes a while to find your favorite artist or song because of the way you have to scroll and wait (always alphabetical order). Instead of scrolling, just tap the knob backwards (towards the rear) and it will bring up the next screen of songs or artists. This method is a little quicker, not the best, but better."

I hate the fact that on the USB drive, the screen always goes back to the first folder when backing up from a artist-song. Wish it would go back to the artist or folder you were at last instead of the first one in the listing!

Why not just shuffle the list and play the mix?

Thanks for the tip, but I have the non-tech version. I just have to spin the selector knob like a wild man to get where I want to be.
