you should be able to turn the volume down if you just want background.
personally, i like to "listen" to music or not bother to have it there
at all. you can also reprocess all your files to play softer using a
variety of programs. i wrote one called midimod2 that allows you to
create "presets" to modify loudness and then to apply this modification
to all files in a folder. you could, for example make a background set
of music as soft as you want. you can find the program at the download
page of my web site.

directly if you need any help with the program.
