Other music/media players on the android platform have a "background service" option so you can listen to music while multitasking in another app and I don't seem to be up to find that option so I thought I'd come to this forum and ask?
If is not currently available I would be grateful if somebody would tell me so I could then change this thread to the requested feature section.
Thanks
Not currently supported. Thread moved to feature requests.
On android you can only make use of the background music stuff if you can run the music player in a seperate service which would require xbmc's music player to work outside of xbmc which is a long way off AFAICT.

Wow that sounds like a lot of work but I guess it will be worth it , if only I knew how long it would take to come onto the android platform as I'm really enjoying using this software.

shame on the timescale but I think it will be worth this media centres time as I believe that android took 70% of the phone market last year and my desktop OS friends have been raving about this software for years, now I see what all the fuss was about!

damn. I just loaded up XBMC on my TF300 and want this also. It gets streaming SMB over the network perfect and kicks winamp for android in the ass. Really I wish there was a standalone XMBCamp for android.
