If I use TomTom with background MP3 player playeing playlist, the MP3 player (Gsplayer or Mediaplayer), after the player finished the first item, I can not hear the next ones.
If I switch off the GPS (BT 338), I hear the music again.
Everything works with other navigation software.
Any idea ?

I think this is to much for the slow Wizard processor doing all at the same time. TomTom is a huge application and the bluetooth communication is constantly busy receiving those protocols from the GPS mouse interrupting anything else not to loose any characters during reception (heavy traffic).

No problems here.....
Running tomtom and a musicplayer at the same time. (even with background apps running)
The only thing is, if i listen to the music with a certain volume tomtom tends to override the volume with the spoken instruction.
After that the musicplayer will override that volume again when it changes to the next song.
Bit fiddeling with the both and jou wil not notice any difference.

Lucky guy. ;)

Well this could be anything. 192khz sampled mp3 need more cpu time than 63khz sampled. While I'm driving in my car I use my Ipod 20G for music. ;)

Thanks.
