So if you are trying to find a song in a large iPod library it takes forever.
You almost have to use playlists to get to songs quickly, but that has to be set up prior.
I've found that if you disconnect your iPod, quickly search for the song you are looking for, start it.........and then plug your iPod back into the cable, the Eclipse unit will pick up where it left off. That's much quicker than scrolling through 400 screens!

Actually if you press and hold the up/down arrow on the screen, it will go inot a quick scroll mode. After a few seconds it starts paging through the list rapidly and displays the letter of the alphabet on the screen that it is currently paging through so that you know about where to stop.
I'm not sure if this is documented in the manual, I just discovered it while playing around with the unit right after I installed it.
