I wish my iPod would....

For a while I’ve been thinking about a feature I wish my iPod had. I found myself, earbuds in and iPod on, reading about short blog posts when I again had the desire for this feature. Now I find myself writing another short blog post of my own.

I love the iPod interface for the most part, but frequently when I’m using it I keep wishing there were a way to somehow cross-reference songs and albums related to the song currently playing. For instance, sometimes I hear a song which reminds me of another song from the same artist. I’d like to be able to easily jump to the list of songs by that artist. Going back to the menu and then searing through the list of all artists is really too much of a bother, don’t you think?
