Hey folks was just wondering if there's some way to change tracks outside if iPod onthe iPhone, that is, in lockscreen etc without buying music control and other apps out there? Thank you fellow iPhone lovers. God bless.

From the lockscreen double-click the home button to bring up iPod controls...then you could use next and back buttons to browse.....is this what you mean?

I checked this out. I don't like it at all. Scrolling problems, and I cant actually choose the song. It just plays the first song on the album. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
