Music can only be selected by pausing activity.

Instinct is linked to phone on which I run Spotify.

Works perfectly except...

... when I am recording an activity and want to adjust the Music controls I have to hit the GPS button to open them...

... however, this then pauses the activity.

Is there a way to keep the activity running whilst I adjust the Music controls please?

    Here is what I do on my Instinct while controlling music and recording an activity:

    1) Start the music before the activity

    2) Start the activity

    3) If you need to pause your music, long hold your top left CTRL button, then select the Music icon

    4) Once in the music control menu, quick press the top right GPS button to pause your music

    5) Use the bottom right set button to go back to the activity

    6) The activity will still be recording and the timer accumulating

    Ah!

    That is absolutely brilliant.

    Thank you very much that is 100% spot-on.

    Why don't Garmin put these things in their Manual.  I spent a frustrating hour or so yesterday trying to sort this out.
