Dude think about it, how can you be listening to music off of your Live connection whilst a game is in. If a game is loaded then the Live connection is open to the game itself.

What's wrong with everyone. Does noone listen to music without playing a game here. IT's an awesome feature. I have an idea many people here might want to try. Dont actually play a game. Sit down with a beer, turn on Last.FM and relax with your eyes closed. Oh my god good old fashioned music relaxation. Or has everyone forgot thats the real reason we have music.

I do listen to music while not gaming. I do it very often. I normally do it in a way that doesn't tie up my TV and 360. Its a funny world I live in though I guess. Maybe not everyone has more than one person in their house that likes to use TVs or video game systems.

Offer it for gaming offline only if the problem really is just the internet connection getting over used. At least then I could get a bit of extra mileage out of this. As is, I just can't imagine a reason I would use it. There are so many better ways to jam out that I cannot ever see a reason for using my 360 for that purpose.
