How do I stop my music?

[Hibbie67]

On my HTC 8S when I play music or even a ringtone I can only pause it and not stop it completely and if I go out of "music" and then return it will actually say "paused" on the track/ringtone I was playing. If I then go back to my home screen and press my volume button (one on the top of the right hand side of the phone) I get a box appear at the top of the screen with a "play, fast forward & rewind" sign appear, anyone help?

you cant get rid of it but you have to download an app called "stop the music" and that takes care of the problem

Download a free alternate and awesome music player called 'Listen'. It has the (among many others) stop music feature.
Its definitely worth checking out.

Try Quick Settings, it has a lot of features, including the "stop the music" tile
