Just made this little audio player application for Pandora. The idea is to be able to use it on the go without having to open up the Pandora to check the screen in order to switch songs and more stuff.
The only time when you actually need the screen is for the first step where you have to select a music file in a folder full of other audio files.
Then, as it starts playing the audio file, you can close your Pandora (make sure it does not go in low power mode) and control playback with the following:
LEFT SHOULDER button:
It acts as a function selector. Every time you press it, it cycles between the following functions.
Pause / Next / Previous / Lock / Quit
As you cycle through them, you can hear a voice over the music track playing to indicate which function is selected at the moment.
RIGHT SHOULDER button acts as an action button.
It will activate the function selected by the left shoulder button.
For example, if you select "Pause" with the left shoulder button, and press the right shoulder button, it will pause playback.
If you select "Next" with the left shoulder button, and press the right shoulder button after that, it will jump to next track. And so on.
The only exception is "Lock" which will basically prevent any accidental right shoulder button click and ensure the playback continues until you remove the lock.
