How do you stop playing music?

[Guest The Sorcerer]

This must be so simple I feel a right numpty asking the question but I can't see how to do it and it's driving me crazy!!

OK, so, in the original stock music player and now also in Winamp, I just cannot see a "Stop" button. There's a "Play" button which, once the track has started playing, changes to a "Pause" button, but it only toggles between play and pause. I can shuffle, repeat, pause, play, do a gazillion things, but I can't just "Stop" a track. How do I do it? :D

Cheers

"Pause" is stop :)

Just ensure the "Start on Headset connect" (Or similar name) is unticked in the Winamp settings otherwise it will resume as soon as you plugin your headphones (To watch youtube, play angry birds etc.)

While paused the music player app uses no system resources whatsoever. A stop button isn't really required on any modern music player :D

Hope this helps

Ah, right. I didn't know that :D When I'm on my own here I don't bother with headphones, I just have the music playing through the speaker. On my old phone, I used to stop the music player so I was really confused at this. Thanks very much Azurren :)

I have an other problem with music players. If I'm listening to music on earphones, and somebody calls me, the music stops, I pull out the earphone, and pick it up. After I disconnect the call... Trolololo, the music starts again, this time on the speaker. It's a bit annoying :D
