Re: Bluetooth for audiobooks/music ?

I don't have a problem using my bluetooth headset for calls and stereo music/audiobooks.

That is, when I'm trying to use WMP or the Sprint Music Tab.

Your connection settings should have options for your headset for both bluetooth stereo and a normal headset. I click both on, though when I'm done listening - I go back there and click the stereo off. In the past I've found that even the rings would get routed to my headset and I'd miss calls. I only use the standard bluetooth settings, I don't add any programs like the one listed above.

I use the Jabra BT8010 headset, which is both mono and stereo. You can connect a second piece for stereo listening. When I've started listining to a music track, I can press one of the headset buttons to pause music. I can press it twice to go to the next track. When a call comes in, it pauses the music and interrupts.

The only problem I've found is that the AVCRP drivers are locked to WMP and the Sprint Music Tab. So I can't control music with any other programs. Slide to Play works ok by running WMP in the background - but I found it too buggy to use. If Pocket Player found a fix for AVCRP controls - I'd probably buy it.
