Using Media App Controls

Controls for the media app can be found within the app bar.

The Start Page appears with each initial launch of the media app.

Tip: If you are having difficulty returning to the Start Page, quit the media app and then open it again.

The Start Page gives you a quick view of the libraries and folders on your storage device and your mobile device.

1. Navigate between libraries by swiping your finger left to right and right to left.
2. To view the all the contents of a library, tap on the arrow next to the library name. For example, tap on the arrow next to Photos to see all the pictures on your storage device.
3. When in a library view, you can return to the Start Page by tapping on the home icon on the upper left corner.

Enable the app bar to reveal the media app controls. From the top of the screen, swipe your finger down.

You can play music while browsing the media app. Playback options include: return to the start of the track; stop; play/pause; skip to the end of the track; random play (interconnected arrows); continuous play (circular arrows); and show list (tap on the list icon to see tracks in the queue).

The default media app icon will change to the icon for the track that you are playing.
