How to Fast-Forward & Rewind on Your iPod
By KR Knowlin
With the iPod user-friendly interface, you can browse your media library, pause and play tracks, and control playback options like rewind and fast forward. If you have a click wheel iPod, the Fast Forward button is located on the right of the click wheel, while the Rewind button is located on the left. Touch-screen iPods, like the iPod touch and the iPod Nano, have on-screen controls to manipulate playback.
