My understanding is that sampling the gyroscope that frequently is a battery killer (e.g: the reason those REM Sleep alarm clocks will suck down 90% of your battery in 8 hours)...
Over the course of a day this is probably a fairly significant amount of battery power wasted on eye candy...

- glhaynes 14y agoThis is my first thought, too. On the other hand, I never leave my phone in the music app, screen turned on, unplugged — I get in, find the thing I want to play, then either lock the device or switch to another app. So I'm not too worried about it. But, still. EDIT: Comments elsewhere on this page seem to imply that the extra power usage is miniscule.
