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.
