PS4: Now playing controls

[keithludlow]

Is there any way to access a "now playing" control panel without entering the Spotify app and thus suspending my game when I am streaming music in-game?

Not sure if this will help you, but if you hold down the PS button, you can see what is currently playing, as well as pause and skip to the next song.

You can use your smartphone to control the music.
