If it sleeps.. it can't play iTunes. There is a hack to allow iBooks to run in clamshell mode... Don't remember what it is... However, this topic has been beat to death... perform a simple search of the forums and you'll find it.

On a related note, the iBook clamshell hack should go in the "how not to be a noob" thread.

Thanks... I get tired of seeing this topic come up.

its a really bad idea to run in clamshell mode in a backpack .... all the threads you search will tell you why, but basically its like a bunch of disc accesses while bouncing, the iPod is equipped for this the iBook is not.

DO remember that iBooks aren't made to run in clamshell mode and heat can severely damage them .

it won't run in clamshell without an external display connected to it. So unless you carry a display,keyboard and mouse, it's not possible.

Yeah...

The iBook IS NOT a portable music player...the great thing about the sleep mode is that you can put it in a backpack, bounce around for a while and not be worried that anything is hurt because nothing is spinning.
Even if you COULD figure out a way to get your idea to work...you are only asking for serious problems.
