I did a search on this but didn't generate an solid advice... Is it possible to speed up or change the ipod interface??? I have an 80gb Ipod thats full for the most part and navigating through the 100s of artist takes forever. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No

Aside from deleting stuff, no.

Divide your artists up into genres and then first search by genre. You should be able to reduce your list sizes that way (Classical, Country, Rock, Pop, Rap etc.). Even if you listen to, say, mostly heavy metal music you could divide into Thrash Metal, Speed Metal, Classic Metal, Pop Metal, Hair Metal etc. If you listen mostly to classical you can create genres for Romantic, Classical, Baroque, Modern etc.

What the hell is the Menu Button in the wheel?

UP?

What the hell is the Menu Button in the wheel?

Same thing as the menu button on the ipod!!

I did something very similar. For the GENRES category (Which i almost never use), I put the Letters there A, B, C, D, ... , Z, #

 

Therefore, under A you have your Artists that begin with A, etc...

 

Therefore, I can look for Albums AND Artists by letter.

Thats how mine is set up and I've been using it for a while. It's definitely the easiest way I've found so far.
