iPod Touch/iPhone question

I have an iPhone and was using the iPod that is built in. When listening to a song, I don't see the timer for the song. On my regular iPod it will show me the time played and the time left in the song. Do I need to change a setting to see the song length? How do I scrub (i think that's the right word) through a song? I want to skip from the beginning of a song to the middle and like the way you can do it in iTunes and on the iPod. Is this possible with the iPhone and the iPod Touch?

Touch the screen.

thanks. i thought i tried that but guess i didn't. i think i like this phone even more

It annoys me that you can't get this to display as the default behavior. It seems like every time I close my music or change albums, I've having to manually display the song timer.

Not a big deal, just another small annoyance.

If you add lyrics to the songs, when you tap the screen you will see them too.
