Hi,

When i'm listening to music in itunes my computer will turn off the display if i just leave songs playing. My speakers are connected to my display so this is an issue.

In the power settings window I can see a setting for what to do when video is playing but not music.

When video is playing my display stays on although i don't view video in itunes.

I don't want to just turn power saving off.

Any ideas?

Increase the time for the computer to turn off its display/go to sleep in Power Options...

You can change it back later OR make a custom power plan...call it Music...set a longer display/sleep cutoff...and switch profiles when necessary
