I just downloaded some songs from the Wifi music store and I'm listening to them while I browse MR on my iPhone. However, every time I hit the Back button the music stops playing right about the point that the page reloads. I tried listening to the music without being on Safari and it worked fine. So is anyone else having this issue? Can the iPhone not handle playing music and browsing the web at the same time? I thought it was good at multitasking. So what gives?

Yeah people have had this sort of issue since the beginning. It actually used to be worst. I personally have Safari rarely crash anymore, but occasionally I do.

Cycle your phone sometimes a nice restart fixes a lot of problems.

Yep. I thought of that after starting this thread, so I restarted the phone and it seems to be ok now. It was strange, though. I've had Safari crash before but I've never seen the iPod portion crash. Hopefully it was an isolated incident. Thanks for your insight.
