Ever tried to use your iPhone/iPod touch to play music while you're driving? How about when you're jogging and have your iPhone/iPod touch attached to your arm or hip?

There are times when it just isn't convenient (or safe!) to have to unlock your phone and look at the screen while you use small touchscreen controls to control music playback.

That's where FluxTunes comes in. Control playback with intuitive gestures anywhere on the touchscreen. For example:

- Tap to pause/restart
- Slide left and right to change tracks
- Slide up and down to adjust volume
- Slide two fingers left or right to change playlists
- Slide two fingers up to play music from your whole library

You don't need to look away from what you're doing to control your music, making it easier and safer.

FluxTunes may also be more suitable for those with limited vision or mild physical impairment than other music players, since it doesn't use small touchscreen controls.

**********

Note that this application requires OS 3.0 or above, since it requires access to your music library.

NOTE: The OS 3.1 release appears to be causing issues in FluxTunes with changing playlists and selecting tracks, due to undocumented changes in this OS build. An update has already been submitted to fix this.

Safety:

- Always obey your local laws.
- While driving, do not take your eyes off the road to adjust your music.
- Do not make or receive phone calls when driving, regardless of whether using a hands-free kit. Talking on the phone while driving is a major risk factor for accidents.
- Listening to music while riding a bicycle or motorcycle is not recommended, since this may hamper awareness of other traffic.
- Listening to music while walking or running on roads, cycleways or other pathways shared with vehicles is not recommended, since this may hamper awareness of approaching vehicles.
- Wearing headphones while driving is not recommended, since this may hamper awareness of other traffic and emergency vehicles and may physically affect your driving.
- Do not listen to music at excessive volume, since this may cause permanent damage to your hearing.
