iPhone 3GS iPod Application Extended Playback Features Now Accessible With
VoiceOver Screen Reader

Hello Everyone, 

I am delighted to report that with the 3.1 iPhone 3GS firmware update, those
of us using Apple's VoiceOver screen reader now have access to the extended
playback features available in the onboard iPod application.

The extended playback features include the ability to adjust the playback
speed, set the number of times a track will repeat, and use the Scrubber Bar
to adjust playback start position.  

VoiceOver users, do the following to access the extended playback features:

1.
While a track is playing/Paused, use a Split-Tap on any area of the Display
Screen labeled Album Art, by VoiceOver to toggle access to the extended
playback features.  Currently, when this command is used as stated above,
VoiceOver will say, Album Art, image.

NOTE 1:
A Split-Tap is when one parks a single finger on the Display Screen, then
quickly taps another area of the Display Screen with a second finger.

2.
When the extended playback features are displayed, use standard navigation
gestures to scroll through the options including Scrubber Bar (track
position), 30-Second Rewind Button, Repeat Button, and the Playback Speed
Button.  

Note 2:
Use a Split-Tap to cycle between the various states of both the Repeat and
Playback Speed buttons.

Enjoy,

Mark

Hey there Mark

This is not new with 3.1.  We have had this since the original release  
back in June.

Regards
Justin
