Looking at the iPod’s Menus and Screens

Now that you have an idea of how to move around your iPod, let’s get a good understanding of its menus and screens.
Although the controls you use to move around menus and screens are slightly different on the two models, the steps you use to move around are the same. Here they are:

1. Slide your finger or thumb clockwise on the Scroll pad (iPod) or Click Wheel (iPod mini) to move down a menu or counterclockwise to move up a menu. As you move your digit, different menu options will be highlighted on the screen to show that they are selected.
2. When you want to use a menu command, highlight it and press the Select button. That command will be active and the screen will change to reflect what you have done. For example, if you selected another menu, that menu will appear on the screen. If you select a song, the Now Playing screen will appear and that song will start to play.
3. To move back to a previous screen, press the Menu button. You’ll move back to the screen you were on before the current one. Each time you press the Menu button, you’ll move back one screen until you get back to the Main menu.
