Jim's Tips #5: Play MP3's in the background!

[jbarr]

Did you know that you can play your MP3's in the background while running other apps? Well, you can, and her's how!

Launch the Audio Player app, click the Menu button, and select Options > Preferences

Next, check the "Enable Background Play" option and ckick "OK"

When you launch another app, any playlist currently playing will continue to play! Just re-launch the Audio Player app to adjust the volume, stop the playing, or select another song.

Just be aware that MP3 playing will cause quicker battery drain as well as slowdown in some apps, especially games.

Instead of going back to the audio player to adjust the volume just tap the little speaker icon to the left of the clock on the bottom of the screen and you can adjust the audio level directly from there. And this you can do from virtually every app.
Question: One exception I am aware of is when I am reading emails with CLIE Mail. What's up with that? Any solutions?
