TIP
• There's a quick way to play all your music in
random order. Flick to Zune, and then tap Play .

• If you have a lot of items in a category (such as
Songs or Albums), there's a quick way to jump
to a particular point in the list without a lot of

of the Songs list (in the "a" section) and you want
to play a song that starts with the letter "s." Tap
the colored box with the letter "a" in it. In the grid
of letters that appears, tap S.
