If you search by artist, you see the artist names - when you make your selection (by scrolling through them or, more usefully, refining the list with the letters on the keypad) all songs on the player by that artist are selected (or appended to the current playlist, it's your choice).

In other words, if you want to play tracks by Sash, you do an artist search for "Sash". If you want to play dance tracks, you do a genre search for "Dance" - and so forth.

There are also shortcuts to tweak the play order, for example if a Rush song comes on and Tony F is in the car, you can hit a button on the remote to listen to other songs by that artist.

This is in addition to your own structured playlists that you can set up using the PC software and then navigate on the player in the form of nested menus.
