'Scrubbing' in the music player 15
When you are listening to music from within the stock webOS Music App, you will see 3 icons on the bottom of the page that represent rewind 
, pause 
(or play), and fast forward 
. Tapping on these will rewind to the beginning of the current song (or move to the previous song if already at the beginning), switch between pausing and playing the current song, and moving to the next song, respectively. However, what happens if you want to move to a specific part of the song?
From the screen that shows the current song (and album cover), just tap on the song name and scrubber bar will appear. You can now just move the big circle to the position you want in the song, or you can press-and-hold the rewind or fast-forward buttons to scrub through the song. Note that you can also activate the scrubber bar by pressing-and-holding the rewind or fast-forward button, but that will also activate the scrubbing and jump you a few seconds ahead or behind in the song
Thanks to Williamiswilliam for suggesting this tip

Scrubber bar, really? Why are we always borrowing Apple's stupid renaming of things?
Scrubber bar is a generic term not created by apple. it's used in any video or audio application where you scrub through a time line using a play-head.
People still use the default music player? HA!
(Remix) ftw! :D
the app needs a quick playlist option, one you can make on the go.
see flylists in Music player Remix (either version)
Do yourself a favor and Homebrew your Pre and download either of the Music Remix players. The standard Music app is absolutley horrible compared to either Remix apps.
If you only homebrew your pre for one reason this should be it. (there are many advantages of the homebrew option, but this should be one of the first apps you download from preware.)
This is really unintuitive, how do you know there's a scrubber there! Someone on the UX team should address this.
The original version of the stock music app didn't even have the scrubber bar. This missing feature was the biggest reason why I started the Music Player (Remix) project and was literally the first feature I added to the original version of the app.
But I agree, it boggles my mind why you'd want to hide the scrubber bar like that. First of all, I don't even think it should be hidden. I think it's an essential part of the "Now Playing" screen. And Remix 2.0 actually uses it to display saved bookmarks. But if you are going to hide it, at least make it obvious that it's available.

solicit somewhere else
not sure what you got going on here - Music player Remix is great - the person above might be the developer, but I don't think they are soliciting. Aside from that you are asking how to homebrew on the next post without a computer - I am thinking you have some interest in checking out Remix.
I am in no way affiliated to the developer, but this is a must have app and makes the media experience on the Pre much more full and robust. Best of all it is free.
I am not going to reply to your next post - I will do it here - I believe you have to have a computer to Homebrew. I am not the biggest techie/developer person and believe me a five year old could do it with the directions that precentral has in the forums.
Homebrewing seems to be the only thing that has made me hang on to my Pre for as long as I have. Do it - get your homebrew on and start realizing the real potential this OS has. Patches and overclocking have made my Pre experience so much better and it is hard to believe I lived without doing this for so long.
I am the developer and thanks for sticking up for me; however I don't think he was responding to my post. When I originally posted, I remember seeing a really long SPAM post right above mine. I'm pretty sure he was responding to that one. PreCentral must have deleted the SPAM post and it just looks like he was responding to my post.
thanks for the suggestions. Is there a way to start homebrewing without a cpu? Directly through the phone?
Mine took a dump and have been delayed in replacing it since my P1X1 gets me by.
thanks
I honestly never knew about this, and I've had my Pre for over a year. Why, oh why would this be hidden? I know 4 other people with the Pre/Pixi and none of them knew either. Thanks a lot Palm. >SMH
I just wish there was 1 link that would allow you to have music w/o all the downloads for those of us who mess it all up.
