How long does the battery last?

i use media player with bt headphones and keeping the screen off, i'd estimate a good 6-8 hours stright, start with a full charge and end with no battery at all.

Where can you turn off the screen and keep Media Player working? I can't find the setting in Media Player. I did find it in Core Player though.

It is in the buttons tab of the windows media player menu/settings, screen blank then assign a button to it (i use dpad down)

Oh ok you mapped it. I thought there might be a setting somewhere like Core player

i use pocket music. does anyone know how to set it like the way you guys are, allowing it to continue to play while the phone screen is off?

With the HTC Audio Manager you can just hit the power button and it keeps playing with the screen off, not sure about pocket music though.

I have audio manager 1.02 and it doesnt play when I push the power button. I have been using screen toggle to turn off the screen and allow the music to continue. Did I miss something in the audio manager settings?

Well I'm not sure, but I also have the Audio Manager Today Screen Plugin also installed and suspect that's why it does it, do a search for the plugin, it's great anyways.
