I recently started running my macbook (2.4 Ghz alum unibody) in clamshell mode, but I've encountered a problem when playing music in iTunes: namely the mac enters sleep mode if I don't interact with the mac (either keyboard or mouse) after 15 minutes even though iTunes is still actively playing music.

The computer is hooked up to external power via the ac adapter and is hooked up to my HDTV via a mini displayport to HDMI adapter.

When it enters sleep mode, the tv goes blank as if there is no input and the music stops playing (audio is NOT through the tv). Once I move the mouse, the picture comes back and the music automatically resumes from where it left off.

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening without completely changing/disabling the system-wide energy saving features?
