Second generation ELEMNT computers can control native music apps on your phone. A Music Control Page is added to the end of the page stack when the computer detects a podcast, music, or video playing. The ELEMNT will not switch to that page automatically.
You can play/pause the audio track, adjust volume, and skip/fast forward/rewind.
