1. A method of controlling audio playback at a portable body mountable performance monitoring device, comprising:
- playing music at a first volume with the portable body mountable performance monitoring device;
processing athletic performance parameter data with the portable body mountable performance monitoring device;
reducing the volume of the music being played, and continuing to play the music at a reduced volume;
playing audio performance feedback that is based on the athletic performance parameter data with the portable body mountable performance monitoring device;
returning the volume of the music being played to the first volume;
determining that at least some of the processing of the athletic performance parameter data should be paused; and
determining that the playing of music should be paused in response to the determination that that at least some of the processing of athletic performance parameter data should be paused.

18. A method of controlling audio playback at a portable body mountable performance monitoring device, comprising:
-
playing music at a first volume with the portable body mountable performance monitoring device; processing athletic performance parameter data with the portable body mountable performance monitoring device; reducing the volume of the music being played, and continuing to play the music at a reduced volume; playing audio performance feedback that is based on the athletic performance parameter data with the portable body mountable performance monitoring device; returning the volume of the music being played to the first volume; presenting the user with an option to have at least some of the processing of the athletic performance parameter data paused if a condition is met; receiving a user input that indicates that the user desires to have at least some of the processing of the athletic performance parameter data paused when the condition is met; determining that at least some of the processing of the athletic performance parameter data should be paused; and determining that the playing of music should be paused in response to the determination that that at least some of the processing of athletic performance parameter data should be paused. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
