How to stop playing music?

Former Member over 4 years ago

Very basic question, just ot make sure I am doing everything right.

I am listening to mp3 i have locally on my pc and copied to my watch. I can listen to them fine and no big issues.

Say i am listening to a song and I just want stop (say because I was in the train and I got to final destination or because i was running and my session is over and I am back home).

What I am doing so far is to pause the song and put the earbuds back in the case.

By doing so, the watch remembers not only what song I was listening to but also how far i got in the song. When i go back to listening to music i find that same song at the very moment i left it. Even if three days went by and i switched off the watch in the meantime.

Is it fine doing so, or there is a way to "reset the music"?

I am fine with this behavior, just worried that it might have to keep something runnign in the background and drain a lot of battery.

I didn't find any other mean to close the app, I do the same as you

Before I start the activity, I hold down the bottom left button until I get the music control screen. Then I go down one choice to "Play All Songs". That starts a new song, and since I'm playing random songs it continues on with random songs.

Then I back out of the music menu by clicking the bottom right button until I'm on my watch face. The music continues to play. Then I start the activity by first clicking on the top right bottom, selecting the activity, selecting the course, selecting the workout, and then start.

I use tsofron's technique, too. But I suppose that holding down the left bottom button (which brings me to the music screen) would let me pause the song, too. I've just never done it that way.
