So the x920 will search thru playlist, but is very slow ( usally 5-7 sec's) between alphabet search and when pushing a letter. Any way of speeding it up like if you were looking for a song or a artist?

I'd like to know this too as my 920bt does the same thing.. also how can i do something like play more albums by the same artist without having to go back to the alphabet list and search for the artist all over again. Is there no 'go back to artist' type feature to allow playing more stuff like what i'm already listening to? Seems like a pretty basic feature may have been overlooked either by me or by pioneer =P

Read your manual. Link search is probably what you are looking for.
