Abstract
A method of controlling music playback includes providing a sensor array comprising first sensors arranged adjacent to one another, receiving data output from first sensors of the sensor array, the data including activation times during which each of the first sensors was activated, comparing the activation times of each first sensor to determine if the first sensors were sequentially activated along a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction, controlling the music to be played in a forward direction if the first sensors were sequentially activated along the first direction, and controlling the music to be played in a backward direction if the first sensors were sequentially activated along the second direction.
