At work I plug in my iPod into my speakers and let it shuffle. Since the iPod touch now has the line out at the bottom, I can no longer position my iPod in portrait mode, since the cable to my speakers gets in the way.

Nice, if only it would always refresh to the album art for the "now playing song" and, more importantly to me, if it would offer a volume slider. Both features are missing in landscape mode.

  • Double-click home button to display the 'music widget' with volume slider.
The widget will still be in portrait mode, though I can live with that. The second solution is a bit more complex, but works in landscape mode:
