How do you stop the music?

[Greg]

I must be the dumbest person on the planet. I finally learned how to get my mp3's onto my droid.

Problem is... when I play a song, there is no stop button, only a pause button. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the song to stop playing. I finally had to power off the phone.

What am I doing wrong? How do you turn the music player off?

Thanks in advance!

The music player is "off" when the music is paused and the app is exited.

There is no ACTUAL stop button for the music. Just press pause and exit the music application.

Ok, thanks so much!!!

This is supposed to be fixed by adding a stop button on the Dec 11 update.

Nice find -- skipped over that one in the Documentation on the update.

Strange that they are going to change that since its been like since 1.1 on the TMobile G1.

I was updated Dec 11, but don't see any Stop button for ending the music. Doesn't matter much I guess, now that I am accustomed to hitting pause. BTW, Droid is my first smartphone, and I find I've been downloading from my favorite radio station with Shazam ... and haven't gotten around to transferring songs from my iTunes collection ! I love using Instant Lyrics app too.

Pause button. End of story.

if you pause it and go back to the home screen, or back out to the home screen, the music player is still active in the background if you go to manage applications.

i just use taskkiller to completely stop it.

to actually clear the music in question you have to select the playlist button. Its the button which looks likes 3 or more lines. Once selected hit the menu button and select clear que or playlist depends on which player you have, viola its done.
