How to make selections on an iPod?

The previous information about selecting a language gives you the general idea of how you control an iPod. Now, let’s give you a very specific idea of how you move around your iPod to make it follow your commands. The iPod is based on menus on which you make choices. To make a choice on a menu, you slide a finger or thumb clockwise on the Scroll pad to move down the current menu or counterclockwise to move up on the current menu. As you move up or down, a different command on the menu will be highlighted. When the command you want to use is highlighted, press the Select button to choose it. If the command is for another menu, that menu will appear. You can then move up and down that menu to choose another command. If the menu provides a list of songs, albums, or other categories, you can use the same process to select and play an item, such as a song.

To move back to a previous menu, you press the Menu button. You’ll learn the specific menus and screens you will use later in this chapter. For now, just understand how to move up and down the iPod’s menu structure.
