Hi, Richard. That doesn't burst my bubble at all. If it's true, it inflates it :) I would much rather have something people could use without jailbreaking, many people don't like to do so. I am, however, not able to make it work without jailbreaking. That is, hitting the volume up and volume down together does not start music playing on my brother's non-jailbroken device without activator. Similarly, hitting volume down, then up, does not move to the next song, nor does hitting volume up, then down, move to the previous song. Remember that the point of my message was simply to enable people to use the play/pause commands with hardware keys and to point out that those same commands would work with VoiceDream as well as music. The next/previous/play/pause commands will certainly work with VoiceDream on a non-jailbroken device, but I know of no way to make these commands work with the hardware keys without activator, which is a tweak only available by jailbreaking. On a device without activator, hitting volume down and up together results in a click, hitting volume up and then down quickly just changes the volume, as does hitting volume down then up quickly. I hope you're right, you understand, I just don't think you are. Aman
