Yes, relatively simple and doesn't take too long (a few seconds)...

1) Start unit
2) Once up and running open Music Player and it should start playing.
3) Press the Open Apps logo, two overlapping rectangles top right of the screen.
4) Find the Music Player app (bottom one) and then swipe to the right.
5) The music should stop.
6) You can now use the other app (Carplay, Android Auto, Apple Music etc)

If you have the new ID7 UI (new software update available)....
1) Start unit
2) Once up and running open Music Player and it should start playing.
3) Press the back button on the top right of the screen.
4) The screen should go back to the home page and the music should stop
5) You can now use the other app (Carplay, Android Auto, Apple Music etc)

Hope that helps
