That really doesn't work because it messes with any other game I play the next time around. Besides what if I do want the game sounds but not the music or vice versa?
The other problem here is that the music is still playing in the background which is using CPU and thus reducing the battery life of the device. It would be much better to be able to disable music and / or sound and not have that additional overhead.

I do understand that could be quite fun and will probably use it in the future. The built in music is basically meh (I know its hard to get quality music you can legally distribute) and setting up my own music takes configuration and time. I'd rather turn it off for now. In fact when I do set things up I'd probably want to disable the background music while leaving the action music or more likely set different volumes for each.

That's going to be one long cord then... Besides the idea is to get technology out of the way and cables all over the room does tend to kill the mood quite a bit...
