Okay, good. Now having said that, you would prefer to have Noise 
minimize if the music was playing instead of closing (from the UI 
standpoint this would mean that the dock icon is still visible) simple 
because the quick access to the icon would be needed to pause the music 
or select a new song. Is that right? Designers, what do you think of 
this user experience?
