How do I get rid of this!?

[LesyTehNoodle]

Can someone please tell me how the hell do I get rid of this?

Thanks.

As I constantly listen to the music, I do use this feature a lot. As said above, it would be great if this bar stays there for a bit more time (otherwise I tap somewhere on it to keep it) or to implement something similar to Android, or even iOS (music controls are always on the lock screen while the music is playing).

The back button! I use status tiles which has a stop music tile so the media controls can go away. Remove the volume bar by pressing back. Why is no one reading this.

The back button doesn't remove it, just hides it :grin: and sometimes when you are in xbox music or mixradio backing out of the app sometimes does remove it.. (not all the time though, which leads me to believe that there is a glitch with-in the app or perhaps the back stack)

Go into Kids corner and then come back to your main profile and it should be gone.

On a side note I really like Google's approach on this, where you can just easily tap a small 'x' and the now playing thing disappears. Here's how it looks on Android:

I'd agree that this would be a nice option for those who do not like this feature.

That's really sad, I have to download 3rd party app to close this. Really Microsoft? Really?

I listen to music a lot on the phone, and I would prefer it, if the music controls were always present, so I didn't have to open the music app to play music, but just press play. There's no ultimate solution for everyone.

The solution to remove is to download the app stop the music, it works and is a solution.

Use stop the music or status tiles. But why would you want to remove this in the first . OCD?

The level of drama over such a minor thing as this never ceases to amaze me....
I've had a great laugh about this. If the user wishes to switch because of this (and a few other 'minor' things), I would say "Do it... and good luck to you...."

You can have my 720 for your 920.

I'm just shocked that the language fascists (jk) allowed you to use the word HELL in a post let alone in the heading.

Well 'hell' is a word with a really negative meaning however it's not foul language so it's allowed. Haven't you read the post that tells you all the rules of the forums?

Thanks.

I didn't read through all of the comments, so someone may have the same answer as I do: to get rid of that now playing thing at the top, I just play some random video in my phone, slide the time slider all the way to the right so the video ends immediately and voila, the THING is gone. Until a new method of removing that THING is implemented this is the workaround I would use. (Note that disabling Music to run in the background in Battery Saver doesn't prevent the THING from "staying" there).

Count me in with the people that like this feature.

 

[colinkiama]

It does drain the battery if the song is being streamed.

That's the problem. In that 2 second, you can't do anything about it, all you can do about it is just wait.

Press the back button.

I'm with jharr100 on this. It's only there for a couple of seconds and then it disappears. It only appears on unlock or when you press the volume key

 

[Inocencio Sanchez]

It doesn't stay like foreverit automatically hides.. U should check wt ur settings dude.

Have a good weekend everyone!
