Music Controls on Lock Screen (pic)

[twa318]

Is there a way to force my lumia 635 to always display the music controls on the lock screen? I'm using this device without cellular service, strictly for playing MP3s and web browsing. Trying to use the lock screen controls can be extremely frustrating as they fade away before I can select an action (next track, volume, ect). I've attached a pic to better describe what I'm talking about.

Is it possible to lock these controls or at least lengthen the time out?

Any advice is appreciated.

I haven't found an answer to this yet. Is there any known way (other than running WP7.5) to lock the music controls to the lock screen? If not, is extending the timeout possible? I'm sure its in the registry somewhere, if only someone can point me in the right direction.
