Yes, in the control panel, under power, go the the "Advanced" tab, then the first is"when I close the lid".....choose "do nothing". Then you can close it and listen to music.

i dont know what kind of computer you have, but with my dell you go to the dell quick select. open that up and click on the power management wizard. click next 2 times until you get to a screen that says stand by and hibernate at the top left area. at the bottom of that screen there is 3 options. choose"when i close the display lid, my computer will:" and change the option to "no action". and click next.

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Go to Performance and Maintenance
3. Go to Power Options
4. Go to Advanced
5. Change the setting for "When I close the lid..." to "Do Nothing"
This is assuming you're running Windows

See, you're going about this all wrong. You're making it sound like you have the power to award 5 points.
You don't.
