Hi Ryan. Thanks for your detailed reply.

I don't need the user to do anything other than view the data that I provide.

I've made some decent progress thanks to your message, and a tutorial I found. I am a little stuck now, trying to get my albumYear label to display info from an array. The albumTitle label displays fine. The albumYear label will display the same value in all rows if I hard code it

albumYearValue.text = @"Sub Value";

When I use the following code to try to get the albumYear label to display a different value in each row based on data from an array, it's just blank.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
	 [super viewDidLoad];
	 
	 //Initialize the array
	 albumsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
	 
	 NSArray *albumTitleArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Album 1", @"Album 2", @"Album 3", nil];
	 NSDictionary *albumTitleDic = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:albumTitleArray forKey:@"Title"];
	 
	 NSArray *albumYearArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"1995", @"2000", @"2005", nil];
	 NSDictionary *albumYearDic = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:albumYearArray forKey:@"Year"];
	 
	 [albumsArray addObject:albumTitleDic];
	 [albumsArray addObject:albumYearDic];

	 copyListOfItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
	 
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
	//Number of rows it should expect should be based on the section
	NSDictionary *dictionary = [albumsArray objectAtIndex:section];
	NSArray *array = [dictionary objectForKey:@"Title"];
	return [array count];

}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
	
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
	if (cell == nil)
		cell = [self getCellContentView:CellIdentifier];
	UILabel *albumTitleValue = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:kAlbumTitleValueTag];
	UILabel *albumYearValue = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:kAlbumYearValueTag];

	NSDictionary *dictionary = [albumsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
	
	NSArray *titleArray = [dictionary objectForKey:@"Title"];
	NSString *titleValue = [titleArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	albumTitleValue.text = titleValue;
	[titleValue release];

	NSArray *yearArray = [dictionary objectForKey:@"Year"];
	NSString *yearValue = [yearArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	albumYearValue.text = yearValue;
	[yearValue release];
	return cell;
}

- (UITableViewCell *) getCellContentView:(NSString *)cellIdentifier {
	
	CGRect cellFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 65);
	CGRect albumTitleValueRect = CGRectMake(80, 5, 200, 15);
	CGRect albumYearValueRect = CGRectMake(80, 25, 200, 15);
	UILabel *titleTemp;
	UILabel *yearTemp;
	UITableViewCell *cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:cellFrame reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
	
	
	//Initialize Label with AlbumTitle Tag
	titleTemp = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:albumTitleValueRect];
	titleTemp.tag = kAlbumTitleValueTag;
	[cell.contentView addSubview:titleTemp];
	[titleTemp release];
	
	//Initialize Label with AblumYear Tag
	yearTemp = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:albumYearValueRect];
	yearTemp.tag = kAlbumYearValueTag;
	yearTemp.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
	yearTemp.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
	[cell.contentView addSubview:yearTemp];
	[yearTemp release];
	
	return cell;
}

Thanks again for your assistance.
