Not on mine. If I use U1 Music App to play the music, then I can hit
home and it plays in the background.

If I use U1 Files App then it plays in the foreground and hitting Home
closes the program and stops the music.

If I use U1 Music app to play the music, then Android Music sees the
files. If I use U1 Files app to download the .mp3 file, I cannot find
it in the list of music shown by Android Music.
