iPod hierarchy
By default, the interface creates a Playlist having a name that is the same as the name
of the iPod. This Playlist is the very first on the list of Playlists shown while browsing in
Playlist mode. This Playlist contains all the songs on the iPod. Once a Playlist is active
an Artist may be selected within that Playlist using the Artist Mode. Albums by the
selected Artist and within the selected Playlist may be selected in Album Mode. "ALL
ARTIST" and "ALL ALBUM" designate all available content in those categories.

Track numbers and times are not
synchronized between the iPod and

this mode has the fastest response
