Managing Large iPod Collections

Need some advice on managing large iPod libraries through iDrive.

Goal. Quickly list all songs by an artist when you have hundreds of artists and thousands of songs. The scrolling with the iDrive wheel is waaaaaay too slow. The fast scroll by letter works great when using the ipod itself but mine is always nicely tucked away its home in the center console storage unit. I thought this cool tip for making Smart Playlists would work ( http://cerebrum.leftbrained.co.uk/po...n-on-your-ipod) and it mostly does with one critical drawback. Once you use those lists all you get in the interface (iPod and iDrive) is a list of all songs by all artists whose name begins with the chosen letter.

There must be a work around. iDrive absoultely should have the fast scroll by letter feature of the iPod then all would be fine.

Help!
