Overview
For an iPod

you can select tracks using categories or fold-
ers.
Depending on the device connected, the fol-
lowing categories may be available, for exam-
ple:
RCurrent Tracklist
RSelect By Cover
RKeyword Search
RPlaylists(e.g. All)
RArtists
RAlbums
RTracks
RPodcasts
RGenres
RComposers
RAudiobooks
RVideos(except for Hong Kong)
iSome playback categories contain the
entry All
. If this entry has been selected,
the entire content of the category selected
will be played.
The Videos
category is available for iPods®
and iPhones®(except for Hong Kong).
iThe functions are available as soon as the
entire media content has been read and
analyzed. For certain functions, such as
keyword search and selection by cover, this
can take several minutes, depending on the
scope of media and the connected device.
If the same device is reconnected with
unchanged media content, these functions
are available much more quickly.
However, if you change the media content,
it has to be read and analyzed again.
