Help Plays music fine but how do I "STOP" it?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have been trying for a while now to "stop" my music playing.

With the "standard" "music" I can play all the tracks I have imported, see all the tracks, albums, artists and play,pause,shuffle,replay etc BUT I CAN'T FIND OUT HOW TO "STOP" the player.

Even if I exit the player/library, it still keeps playing.

I downloaded PowerAmp to see if that was any better and I can't stop that either. It still keeps playing......................

Have had to force stop the application by going to settings/Applications/Running Applications/ Stop.
It's the same with or without earphones, when I remove the earphones the music "plays" on the speaker.

Surely there must be a "Stop" somewhere???????????????????

Push the pause button, then return to the home screen :D

Thanks Andrew........................the question seems so stupid now...................
just thought that the "process" would still be running ------------
just because I "exited" from it, I guessed it would still be running and using up CPU and Battery etc.
First time I have ever seen a music player without a "stop" but very grateful that you have enlightened me.........................Thanks a bunch:D

Nah, Android isnt Windows, dont worry about it running in the background, it'll just be kept in RAM if nothing else needs the RAM
