How do I close apps? I'm on music, press back key but music is still on in the back ground? i could only stop it by switching the phone off??
can you just press menu then exit? try winamp its sweet!
The Music app does not have an 'exit' button. And really no app should need one. So long as it is written correctly then it will not consume resources when not in use... however a Task Killer can be of use sometimes
Also I recommend PowerAMP for playing music... free trial available, about £4 to buy.
Rooting your Desire should be easy. It took me about 30 mins from start to custom ROM.
