Yep, HTC is going after the iPhone with an audio player that shuts down when the phone goes into suspend mode ;)

You have two options:

1. Go into Settings/System/Power/Advanced and uncheck "Turn device off if not used for"

But then you'll run into another issue. HTC's version of turning off the LCD to conserve power only dims it about 90%, thereby draining your battery faster than you can listen to Britney's entire album.

2. Download a sleek application called spShutXP (http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/) which allows you to completely shutdown the LCD whilst keeping the device fully operational. You simply press the power button to bring the screen back up. Another nifty feature is that it also adds a "display switch" which you can map to one of your buttons or launcher for quick LCD on/off action. Some screen grabs:
