When a close the lid of my portable computer Windows Media Player stops, and when I open it, it picks up.

When a close the lid of my computer laptop wmp stops and when I open it, it resumes. This only happens on the battery. I have it set to not sleep, and there is no screen saver. I want to use my cell phone as an mp3 player without having to leave the lid open. is there anyway to prevent a break?

original title: WMP stops when the lid is closed

Open Power Options - you can do it from the control panel by typing Power Options in the start menu, or by right click on the battery icon in your system tray (right end of the taskbar.)
Click on "change plan settings" for your current power management.  On the next page, click "Change advanced power settings".  On the box that opens, expand 'Power buttons and lid', then 'action close cover.'  Change the selection to "on battery" to the 'status quo', and then click OK.  Close the power Plan window.

HTH,
Chris
