option to disable forward / back gesture on now playing screen

Feature description:

Currently swiping left or right on the album cover via the now playing screen will move to the next or previous track. I would like to be able to disable this.

Problem solved:

Not all touch screens are created equal. There have been quite a few times I was trying to close the now playing screen or open the play que by swiping up and have changed the playing song. My device has hardware buttons for forward and back, thus gestures are not needed

Brought benefits:

Less frustration and will also benefit those with limited dexterity in their fingers.

Other application solutions:
