Your music in 3rd party apps
Hey everyone,
I was just listening to a couple of MacTalk podcasts and I hear everyone hates applications that don't let you play your own music. There's a stupendously simple fix for this issue.

Here's what you do:
Play your music.
Open an app (your music might fade out).
Double tap the home button.
Press play.

I was surprised that not many people knew about this handy tool.

Thanks,
Larry

Or you can also use the clicker (on the headset) to start the music.

But, this doesnt work in *all* apps - Crash Bandicoot for example, not sure of any others...

You mean the ones Apple supply? If yes, then yes. All of the apps.
