Problem with my music control
So I didn't quite know what to search for, so I'll make it short and sweet.
Once or twice a day, my music control doesn't work. It'll show the last thing I listened to from the previous session or it'll stop showing what's actually happening, i.e. I'm listening to John Mayer during the beginning of my workout and change it to Ed Sheeran 1/2 way through. The track listing on the pebble says the John Mayer song, and I control the volume, change tracks, or the volume.
To fix it, I have to turn my watch off, pause my audio on my phone, turn the watch back on, sync it to the device, then press play on the phons again for it to work
Any advice on how to fix this?

iOS or Android? Please update your user flair so we don't need to ask (it's in the sidebar), and in the future, please use thread tags as requested.
What music player?
iOS, and it's the stock music app on the iphone with the music controller app on the pebble.
The most likely explanation is that the Pebble app itself, which on iOS is what is driving this, is being killed / taken out of memory; either by you thru a task manager, or, by the OS's low memory killer (which on iOS, is extremely aggressive, it tends to unload background tasks almost immediately).
Have you tried simply opening the Pebble app on your phone again, without doing anything else, to see if this is fixed?
If you're killing the Pebble app, stop doing this.
