How the heck do I turn off Samsung Music?

[Chevy-SS]

S21 here...... Seems like a ridiculously stupid question, but how the heck do I turn off Samsung Music? I cannot believe it will not shut off. I have looked all over for the magic 'OFF' button, but none appear.

If I get to the screen shown in pic below, it will still keep playing song EVEN AFTER I TOUCH THE "CLOSE ALL" BUTTON!!!!! I am totally gobsmacked by the insanity of being unable to accomplish something simple like this.

It's never been "OFF" ... or "play" or "Pause" ..or in that case "x".... that's how you stop playing.....

I think you can also hit the "X", instead of the "pause" , when you pull down from the top.

I kind of agree with the OP that it's weird and almost stupid, kind of goofy. However, probably something about still needing to be able to play music and switch tracks, etc... from lock screen.

Is that a pic of the Samsung music player? If so, how did you get to that screen? Thanks.

If it's not Samsung player, which app is it? I would like to simply have a "X" button (as shown in your pic) to shut it off.

Yes,is a pic of the Samsung MP..
On Quick Panel, AOD, Lock Screen, there is an "X" with which you can stop playing music ... theme is custom ... #hex installer ... available on Play Store

Poweramp is the same. Just hit | | and pauses and shuts off sound.

In case you haven't yet figured it out, when music is playing, swipe down from the top. It should show in the list of notifications.

This is the only solution I can find and very access unfriendly. If you have poor eyesight or find it hard hitting that small "x" without hitting play, there is no way you can turn it off. It makes the player obsolete.
