iPad Tip: How to Put Your iPad to Sleep But Keep the Music Playing


You can press the Sleep / Wake button to quickly put your iPad in Stand By mode. If you have a music app running, your display will go dark but the music will keep playing. You can still adjust the volume using the volume rocker switch. To wake the iPad, press Sleep / Wake again or press the home button. On the iPad 2, you can simply close or open the Smart Cover if you have one.
