Controlling Your iPod While Using Other Apps

While your iPod app plays, you can run another app such as Safari or Notes so you can do something else while enjoying your music. Try playing a song in the iPod app, then pressing the Home button. Your music continues to play.

If you suddenly need to access the iPod app, just press the Home button twice to display a miniature version of the iPod controls, which let you adjust the volume, rewind, or fast forward as shown in Figure 23-14.

Click Close to return to your work. Clicking iPod will run the full-sized iPod app, closing whatever app you're currently using.
