When I tap on the area on the bottom of the remote (importantly, it must include the two raised areas, not just the area in between) somewhat strongly, any music I was playing in Google Music or Spotify will play/pause.

No actual button on the remote does this. I can't do a generic play/pause with any of those buttons but somehow tapping on that area of the remote does? It's actually inconvenient as if you're just playing with the remote in your hands after pausing music, music will start up again accidentally.

Does anyone else have this behavior? Is it possible to turn this off?
