# skipToPreviousEntry()

Starts playback of the previous entry in the playback queue.

## Declaration

```swift
func skipToPreviousEntry() async throws
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the music player isn’t playing, this method designates the previous entry as the next to play. When you call this method, playback ends if the music player is already at the first entry in the playback queue.
