i have the kca-420i ipod interface so i can connect to my car stereo. it has bad general scrolling (faster scrolling of wheel does not scroll through list any faster!!)
to help with this, i am trying to setup smart playlists which divides up the alphabet, i.e. one for a-e, f-j, etc, for the artists name. i can then scroll within these.
i can do manual playlists, but will have to edit this each time i add new tunes. not ideal!!
is there a way to have a smart playlist do the same automatically for me?
Playlist A - E
*match ANY of the following:
*Artist 'starts with' A
*Artist 'starts with' B
*Artist 'starts with' C
*Artist 'starts with' D
*Artist 'starts with' E
and turn Live Updating On
I haven't tested it on the iPod, so you might need to add:
*Limit to *** songs selected by Artist. (where *** is more than the number of hits you get) to make sure it is in alphabetical order.

I tried this, but for some reason my ipod is defaulting to browse by song name. The playlist is working because it's sorting it by artist name, however it's showing the song INSTEAD of the artist.
Is there a way I can force it to show it by Artist for this particular playlist? What I really want is another sub-click so once it shows the artist, you can click down into that and browse the songs by that artist.
Create a smart playlist like so
Playlist A - E
*match ANY of the following:
*Artist 'starts with' A
*Artist 'starts with' B
*Artist 'starts with' C
*Artist 'starts with' D
*Artist 'starts with' E
and turn Live Updating On
