I have used the GPS running app several times and without issue.  I have also used the music app (with my downloaded music) while running and using the running app at the same time and both worked well.  However, once the running app starts, I can't seem to get the watch to allow me to access the music without stopping the tracking for the running...I want to skip songs or adjust volume while the running app keeps tracking.  What am I doing wrong or missing?

Long press the upper right button, that'll take you to the music player.

Pressing and holding the upper right button opened the notification menu, not the music app. Any help on how to start playing music once my running app starts?
