This screen offers three enjoyable activities. You can jump directly to
another cut by tapping its name. You can check out the durations of the
songs in this album.
And you can rate a song, ranking it from one to five stars, by tapping its
name and then tapping one of the five dots at the top of the screen. If
you tap dot number 3, for example, then the first three dots all turn into
stars. You’ve just given that song three stars. When you next sync your
iPhone with your computer, the ratings you’ve applied magically show
up on the same songs in iTunes.
To return to the Now Playing screen, tap the upper-right icon once again.
(Once you tap, that icon looks like the album cover.) Or, for a bigger target,
double-tap any blank part of the screen.
Album art. Most of the screen is filled with a bright, colorful shot of
the original CD’s album art. (If none is available—if you’re listening to a
song you wrote, for example—you see a big gray generic musical-note
picture.)
