Thank you for your response. It’s just if I listen to a snippet of a song and don’t want to hear it when I’ve gone to another app. It’s just irritating because pause is the only way out. Other music apps seem to be better in letting one leave! Thank you. Pause it is!!!

Again, "pause" and "stop" are functionally the same when there are no moving parts. If you pause the music, there is no reason you should hear it in another app. If you are, that's a different problem.
