yup, thx KW, me too, just discovered that by accident myself. I don't recall seeing it on the 50 page OS bible that came out, maybe I missed it?
I am glad its there but the nice easy to find and press 30 second rewind was the best way to go, I did my own 'experiment', pressing and holding either the rewind or back button and it takes 18 seconds to either advance/go back 30 seconds, they could have added a 30 second fast forward feature, if they like, had someone doing it that appeared to care/was really interested in the music app.
I am sorry if I sound jaded but this is the ipad version of the ipod, and its a mess.
It takes 3-4 more taps than before to get you places or activate items in the app. than it did before, there is little to no intuitiveness in its meandering functionality flow, the design coloring of the interface(s) is totally drab, there is NO way to see INSIDE a podcast, i.e. guests/information listed in the description when you have it ON your computer before syncing ( which is a change from the prior OS) and it locks up on me, oh every other day and I only have about 3 gigs of music downloaded.
I am going to wait another 2 weeks, if its not patched, ( hello, here we go), then I will dig out my 4 year old Nano............ So, in effect, I get to go back 4 years for a functioning music app. that Apple created and added to a device I paid 600 bucks for. I cannot think of a more ridiculous state of affairs, seriously.
