When I play a file using Playback command in Asterisk, it doesn’t stop playing when a key is pressed on the phone. Is there a way to stop playing and go to the next command?

Playback is not intended to read input from the user, but as a kind of tool for playing a welcome message (note that Playback will answer the channel if not answered). The manual for Playback does not say anything about reading input from the user. Furthermore, this voip-info page states:
So try using Read in your dialplan, like:
This will play the sound mysound, and read up to 1 digit from the user. More examples (and the complete syntax with its options) are available at the voip-info page for Read.
Best!
EDIT: In the example, the digit read will be save in the dialplan variable get.
