COMAND: Scrolling Through IPOD Selections (BRUTALLY tedious)

How poor is it that you can only scroll through lists of artists, albums, songs, etc, in alphabetical order?

You can't skip to say, letter S, and scroll through only the letter S like you can on an I-Drive, for example.

Brutally cumbersome unless I'm missing something.

I can. Press the corresponding letter on the phone panel when you have the list on the screen.

It works pretty well to use the letters on the number pad. Sometimes it fails to work the first time I push the letter button, but it always works eventually.
