Apple Touch OS 3.0 User Manual

You can display playback controls at any time when you’re listening to music and 
using another application—or even when iPod touch is locked—by double-clicking 
the Home   button. 

If you’re using an application, the playback controls appear on top of the application. 
After using the controls, you can close them or tap Music to go to the Now Playing 
screen. If iPod touch is locked, the controls appear onscreen, then disappear 
automatically after you finish using them.

From the Now Playing screen, tap the album cover.

The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can 
see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if 
you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.

The scrubber bar lets you skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the 
scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the 
playhead along the scrubber bar.
