Chapter 3 Listening to Music 30
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:
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 classic starts searching as soon as you enter the rst 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 (]).
3 Press 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:
1 Choose Settings > Music Menu.
2 Select 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:
1 Choose Settings > Volume Limit, and then choose Set Volume Limit.
The volume control shows the current volume.
2 Use 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.
3 Press the Center button to set the maximum volume limit.
A triangle on the volume bar indicates the maximum volume limit.
4 Press 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.
