My wife and I have identical 5th Generation iPod Classics, both running version 1.3 (though her's is model MA446LL and mine is model PA146LL). At the bottom of her Music menu, there is a SEARCH function, but I do not have this. I have looked all through my settings, and I can't find where this option is enabled.
Is there any reason why my wife's iPod would have this function while mine would not?
Thanks for your help!
