Use Play / Pause to Stop and Resume Music Playback

Press this to pause audio play.  Then press again to resume audio play.  Note that this is not a mute button however.  That is, pausing playback in this way actually stops playback on the source device.  So, you won’t miss any content when you pause the speaker. Why?  Because as the source device remembers where the content left off. So it resumes playback at that spot.

When paired with an Apple device, press and hold the Play / Pause button to get Siri’s attention.  Note that you must enable Siri on the device for this feature to work.
