Listening to mp3s with other apps open on a nexus 7

I would like to listen to mp3s on my Nexus 7 while I do other things like Facebook or other apps. When I open one, it closes the other. Is there anything I can do?

Are you using Google Music to listen to your mp3's?

Yes, I believe I am. I just downloaded the mp3 and I believe google music is the default player.

Google Music should continue playing in the background while you are in other apps. Not sure why it is not, when you go to another app do you see the Google Music icon in the top left corner in the notification panel?

I just got it working! I had to reboot the tablet. Ever since the last update, things have been messing up quite a bit. Thank you, Andre, for your time. I appreciate it!

No problem at all. The latest update for Lollipop seems to be really messing a lot of device up. Most people are having to do a factory reset to resolve a lot of their issues.
