If "Home" is selected after another tab, it becomes "More"
In addition, you can choose to display the following functions as thumbnails or lists:

The A-Z button allows you to jump to items starting with the chosen letter.
Search button returns albums or artists, even if they are not displayed by the selected function.
Results of the A-Z jump or search will always be displayed as a list.
