Access active covers without minimizing

Use case: I'm doing whatever on my phone while listening music. Suddenly, a song I don't like pops in. I want to switch it, but stay in my current app.

What you have to do today: minimize the app, "next" the song using the cover, and go back to the app

What I'd like to do: start minimizing so I can see covers, but hold my finger, use another finger to swipe the cover, and then cancel the minimize gesture by taking my first finger back to the edge it came from

This way you never have to quit your app, but you can still perform actions in other apps :)
