Help Music player won't shut off.

Make sure you still go to Task Manager to close the app otherwise it will add to you battery drain.

Really, is that the only way to stop it? That sucks. Should be an exit button in the menu. That's just crazy! So pausing and backing out just leaves it running with a song paused! I can see why backing out wouldn't close it as you might want the music in the background. Is there another music player we can download that is better and will close from a menu button?.

Yeah it does suck but I must admit compared to any other music player online, this is by far the best one i've seen. Mixzing kind of sucks.

Pause it in fullscreen mode and then back/exit out

Great Saps, I have been trying to figure this out. Pause in FULL SCREEN then back/exit works as you say. If you pause in small screen,music stays in the task bar running in the background in pause mode. Would be more intuitive if there were a simple exit like in the Navigation (which my D1 did not have as an easy access like the SF). I like the way if you hit the back buttion in nav, it simply warns you it will exit and voila- Music player should be this self explanatory. Oh well, nothing is perfect but like a Lexus, this SF is pretty close.

This does not work. I just purchased a Motorola T505 bluetooth FM transmitter for the car and if I am listening to music from the phone through the transmitter and then leave the car, when I come back to the car I have to shut the phone down, re-pair to the T505 and then start the music player app back up. The only solution that I have found is to kill the task before leaving the car. Backing out does NOT exit the music player. It is still running in the background paused. Need to be able to exit!!! Anyone find a music player that has an actual exit button?
