Oh yes - I appreciate that. I just thought it od how everything froze up - that is most likely my device, as in some flakey part of the FM Transmitter. Obviously no one else reported that either - so I'm sure it's a one off - or I'm extra sensitive to the daemon running and using resources ) (Only joking).

Thanks again for this, it is obviously a huge help for a lot of people.

One other thing though - do you know if the Media Player application does it's own check around the transmitter? I didn't play with this for long, so forgive me if I'm missing things or making them up!
I believe I should be able to control the FMTX from the media player program - but I had no option to. I know that isn't to do with your program - but thought I'd check what your thoughts were on this - i.e. have I missed something, or does media player do it's own check whereby it doesn't see the faker so offers no options for control (assuming it does on working devices)?

I hope that makes sense anyway! Also well done for the update - this is becoming an even nicer little package.
