Jona,

Thank you very much for the quick response!  I have tried this fix and it works, but only for a new favorites entry.  If I edit an existing entry, it does not work.  Just FYI.

Cheers!

I disagree. The bt controls should function always and only when XiiaLive is running, regardless if it has focus. The controls don't do me a lot of good if I have to bring up the player before using the controls, and I do frequently use my phone for different things when the player is running. You will want to add a quit button to the player and this would allow you to exert bt controls whenever the player is running, regardless if it is playing. This is how Pandora does it.
Nexus One downgraded to 2.3.3 yesterday, leaving AAC+ broken. Wish I'd seen this flaw before the downgrade, between that and the butchered UI, I never would have let it install this vile Gingerbread.
