I don't think anyone would consider playing music in the background multitasking (though, I realize in the strictest sense it is). Since music is meant to be heard, not seen, if it couldn't be put into the background, I'm not sure many people would listen to music on their phones.

Playing VIDEOS in the background was only mentioned to demonstrate common misconceptions on multitasking on Android.

I agree, multitasking on mobile does not compare to multitasking on desktop. I just think the multitasking divide between Android and other more loved OSs is much smaller than many would like to think.
