Windows 10: Is there a way to control music playback when it's running in the background?

When I'm doing something else, say browsing reddit, and spotify/groove is running in the background, is there a way I can pause/skip track without having to switch apps?

No Gapless Playback in Groove Music

Hi,

The troubleshooting steps did not help. I'm on version 10.19031.1141.0.

Is there a list of file formats that are supported for gapless playback? Is gapless playback only for streaming, or is it for local music also?

Sincerely,

Christopher

 

Best program for music playback?

I recently formatted and finally got rid of god awful Vista and switched over to Windows 7 x64.

With this new switch, I'm also looking to switch my program that I use for music playback.

I used to use Winamp but really don't care too much for it anymore...

Looking for some suggestions please. *Smile

 

Background applications

Hi Robert,

We understand that you don't want some apps to run on the background of your computer. What we suggest is to
control which apps are allowed to run in the background. To see which apps have permission, just follow the below steps:

• Open the Start menu or Start screen and select “Settings.”
• Click or tap the “Privacy” icon in the Settings.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select “Background apps.”
  
• You’ll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an “On/Off” toggle.

Just bear in mind that, apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in
the background.

Feel free to update us with the results.
