Help Hold (or double tap) side rocker to skip song on default media player?

funny you say this... I just tried to do this yesterday and was disappointed I had to unlock my phone, navigate to pandora, then click next, JUST TO CHANGE A SONG!!!

enhancement request...
if you play music with the stock player there are controls on the lock screen. As far as streaming players, I am pretty sure that since the os locks all those buttons down when screen is off that the app it self will not be able to enable that kind of functionality

true... here's my work around...

went to best buy, bought a bluetooth wireless headset for $100...

I can now change pandora, or any media player without picking up my phone just pushing the button on my ear :D;)
