Maybe I'm just missing it, but when I listen to music on the iPad, it appears there is only a pause button when listening to music, which leaves me wherever I was at in the song. Is there a stop button somewhere that will stop playing the song and take it back to the beginning, rather than just truly pausing it?
I can't imagine there's not a stop button, but I've been wrong before. Or does Apple consider stop buttons too 1990s 😁
Seems like a pause would just be a waste of resources, leaving the music playing app running with the song in a paused state, rather than just a stop that would not leave it in a active but dormant playing state.
But that's not what's happening. If the song is paused and the Music app not showing, the app is dormant and not active, i.e. it's not using any significant resources.
There is no 'stop' button. The pause button does both, pause and stop, which are essentially the same thing. Use the back button to go back.
OK. thought maybe i was just missing it. Seems like a pause would just be a waste of resources, leaving the music playing app running with the song in a paused state, rather than just a stop that would not leave it in a active but dormant playing state.
Good to know, thanks.
You're welcome.
