No it's not a bug. Its a new thing we have on PPCs called multitasking. Its
a really cool feature where you can listen to some tunes, while working on a
spread*** or reading e-mail, or surfing the web. The design of the PPC
since day one has been to background tasks with the X, not close them.
Right, wrong or indifferent, that's by design. Giving you the option of
pausing playback, and that is pausing, not closing the app, when switching
to another app, is a user selectable option.
