I can't however create the brightness shortcut. It doesn't work as shown even though I followed the instructions

I was just checking this out in the app store and there are a lot of unhappy customers. It seems 5.1 did disable the ability to go to the settings with this. from the comments it seems that it worked perfectly before 5.1.

I can not use their suggested "URLs" to create short cuts to settings options. When I enter any of them, like the WiFi one, something sends a message that it is not a correct URL. I can create a shortcut to say a contact. Clicking it, however, doesn't dial the person immediately. A windows appears with their number and a 2nd click is required before the call is made, unlike using a Favorite.

Hoping they 'fix' the use of the paths needed to create a short cut to settings.

They've got a special on it now for $10 for a year of voice guidance. It's normally about $25 or a little less.

For a few dollars you can get a case for the hard drive of your old laptop and plug it into a USB port on your new laptop. Drag and drop or import your old library to the new one and you are done.

The question was about moving music....
