Behavior of phone's back button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose a playlist
2. Chosse a title to play
3. During playback hit the device's back
   button of your phone (HTC Desire my case)

Result: the App goes to the background

Recommended enhancement:
Insteat of moving the App to the background, going back to where you came from 
(in this case the playlist) would be MUCH better.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
TunesRemote+ 2.3.1
Android 2.2
Media Player: iTunes on Windows7 Home Premium

Assigning to Dandroid and marking it as an Enhancement not a defect

A question that I wanted to ask here is, when just opening the TunesRemote, you 
will go straight to currently playing, but there is no where to go back to 
then, go back to the Now playing list then maybe?
Would we then maybe also need an Exit button then, to properly close the 
program rather then leaving it running in the background?

This artifact is due to the way Jeff Sharkey originally built the application.  
 The only way to truly fix this issue would be to rewrite this application from 
scratch.

Background:  Jeff Sharkey wrote the original version in about 2 weeks for the 
Google Code prize in 2008.  Incredibly impressive feat as this project and DACP 
reverse engineering is time consuming. So the code before I got involved was 
very much prototype/beta type quality with very little comments because he was 
writing the code for the contest not for its future maintainability.  We have 
done our best to remove most of the glaring bugs and add features where we can 
but things like this would require almost a complete rewrite.

Hope that makes sense!

when i press "back" in the now playing screen it goes to the background and 
disconnects, I find this annoying as i have to reselect the library. can this 
be fixed?

As the post above states, it can be fixed with a complete rewrite of the 
application.

If you prefer a superior option I suggest Hyperfine's Remote For iTunes 
product.  it is 4.99 but worth every penny.
