You can display playback controls any time a track is playing. Better still, this
trick works even when you're using another app or your Home screen(s): Just swipe upward
from the bottom of the iPad screen to bring up the Control Center, which includes musical
controls as shown in Figure
7-6
.
The playback controls
may or may not override the audio from
apps that have
their own audio, such as many games, any app that records audio, and VoIP (Voice over Inter-
net Protocol) apps such as Skype.
You can even control music from the Control Center when your iPad mini screen is locked.
Figure 7-6:
These controls appear — even if you're using another app — when you swipe upward from the bottom of
the screen.
Scrubber bar and Playhead:
Drag the little dot (the
Playhead
) along the Scrubber bar to
skip to any point within the track.
