Hi Donna, As noted by Shameless, your iPhone screen has to be locked in order for you to access the iPod controls without unlocking the device. So either your screen is already locked, or you've pressed the sleep/wake button to lock it. Now, when you click once on the Home button you'll hear VoiceOver announce the time. At this point, if you just flicked right, you'd hear the date announced (e.g. "Saturday, April 23"). But if you now double click the "Home" button, the player controls will come up. On the iPhone or iPod Touch, flicking right from the time will now give you the buttons for "Previous track", "Play", "Next track", and "Airplay", followed by the "Volume" slider. On the iPad, subsequently double clicking the "Home" button takes me directly to the announcement of the "Volume" control.
HTH.
