Selecting songs on iPod with HK

Is there a way to select a song (example: "Tusk") without having to dial through two or three thousand songs to do it?


Thanks for any info on this.

Can't you bluetooth connect and simply say to Siri: "Play Tusk"?

I don't have that system, but I always search through Artists instead of Songs. Shorter list. Then Albums to Songs. I imagine any player works the same way as the iPod itself, just different controls.

I see. Yeah, I don't have an F56, but if you're stuck with scrolling, it sounds very dangerous while driving. Thus, if you don't have Bluetooth, I would highly recommend this simple cheap add-on. Works like a charm, and works with Siri when driving and you have your phone in your pocket. Just tap and ask, tap to pl;ay any specific song or playlist, etc. Here's the one I got:

Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit

Price is excellent, fully Siri compatible, and you can mount the mic closer to you for greater call clarity, it auto connects to your phone so it stays in your pocket, etc.

Really inexpensive way to have BT enabled in your car, and of course you can answer calls too.

Doh!

Ok, so I just found how to select the letter the song starts with and scroll from there.

Hangs head, walks away with tail between legs, whimpering. :-P

You gotta be smarter than the materials you're working with.
