Macbook - Close the lid, but not sleep?

Is there any way of doing this?

I.E. I want to listen to my jams but not leave my laptop open.

I think I worded everything correctly lol

I don't believe so. The closest thing you can get to that is dimming your monitor to the lowest setting, which is a black screen..

Yes, it applies to all MacBooks.

That is because iBooks don't natively support clamshell mode.
