I'd rather speak "next track" etc.. instead of reaching to press the "listen button" and then say it in which I could just press the next song button.

Is there anybody that has interest in making a hack or program for Magic Word VC? I just don't know how to do that stuff. Anybody?
I'd better NOT do it. I've measured (please see my roundup of voice controller apps at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...e_there&more=1 )the CPU usage of VC when actively listening - it's around 80-90%, unlike with ViTO Voice2Go, which "only" has about 30% CPU usage when in magic word mode. It'd drain the battery REALLY fast.
