Control iPod (or Pandora) Without Unlocking iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

It’s good to know that you can easily access your essential controls such as play/pause, next song and previous song when you’re jogging, walking or otherwise not in a good position to unlock your iOS device.
With your device in a locked state. double tap the Home button to bring up the iPod controls and double tap again or press the sleep/standby button to close it.
Update: This function will also control any other music app that has been designed to utilize the Music Control function in iOS.  For example, if you are playing music through Pandora and you lock your device you can double tap and control Pandora with the pop-up controls.
