Hi , Can anyone suggest an mp3 player that will allow for forwarding thru tunes without having to unlock the Droid (my friend's Eris - if using the built-in player you can froward/reverse thru tunes without having to unlock - the buttons appear on the unlock screen) ?

Also - if there's a mp3 player that will allow for any other methods to switch through songs besides the normal on-screen buttons - such as hitting the camera key to maybe forward (next) thru songs or "shaking" the Droid to go to the next tune ?

Basically , I'm looking for something that will allow you to go thru / change tunes without unlocking the phone , then going into the actual music (player) app & then having to use the small track buttons (to be able to easily change songs while exercising or going to sleep for example).

I really like the Astro player it (finally) allows me to play songs based on their FILE location rather than tagged info which is something I'm grateful to find but I'm quickly finding out that the Droid doesn't make a good substitute for an mp3 player because it's difficult to switch thru tunes (compared to hitting a button on an mp3 player) - i know the Droid isn't an mp3 player but it makes a great one - if only i could go thru the tunes without having to get into the full app.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Edit - I tried the MixZing app and just realized that it has an option to use controls on a wired or Blue-tooth headset - I'm not sure which capabilities this would provide - volume , track selection - I don't have a headset to check it out - at least this is in the right direction though .
