I, for one, have never seen this app nor am I going to download it just to see what you're talking about - I suspect that will be the case for many others. >From your description, I would venture to guess "they're using a foreground Service", as that's what most (all?) media players do.

Or try asking Winamp themselves - though it's unlikely you'll get an answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
