hey guys im planning on getting one of these but i would like to know if i can tell the device to play a specific song. like play song, live your life... ?

For iPOD, it should. For USB or SD sources, no.

according to the manual and according to our Pioneer rep and according to my recent attempts to try this: the answer is no. you can only choose artist, album, or genre with VR.

Nope. Tried it, doesn't work, and my VC's work great.

Since I don't really use the Genre tab on my iTunes, I put the name of the song there. Then I can ask the HU to play genre "song title" and it will.

That's actually a really good idea. Does the unit ever play the wrong song, or if multiple artists have the same song title, does it bring you to a menu to pick which artist?

Ok putting song name where genre is will work but what about 2000 songs, is there a program out there to automatically change it for you. Obviously i am not going to change it for all 2000 songs manually... if anyone knows of a program that can do that post it here... thanks

There is none. Not worth the effort IMO, especially when it only takes a couple more presses by saying "Show the artist ______"

If you're on a Mac you can pickup a Applescript from this site that will copy any ID3 data wherever you would like it.

I have 19,000 songs and I didn't do it for every song. I just went through and the ones I thought I would use it on, I did, which amounted to about 600 of them.

skicrave, thanks a million. i have an apple, just switched from pc this january since vista was so horrible in my opinion. its doing it as we speak so thanks!
