How Do I Keep My MacBook Air On When I Close The Lid?

[DamoWales]

Currently listening to music but want to close the lid whilst playing on my 360 so that I can continue listening without the lid being open,

How!?

Dont think you can , well not with in OSX as its all down to air circulation, heat distribution etc etc. I think there is some 3rd party software that will let you close the lid and not put the Mac into a complete sleep.

I just close mine just enough before it shuts off.

Think you'll need a keyboard or mouse to wake it up whilst the lids closed.

Don't leave it going for too long though as it will overheat

I'l just leave the lid slightly open!
