lid closed actions

Is there a way to set up my Mac to do no action when the lid is closed? In other words I want to be able to close the lid and have the laptop continue to do whatever it is currently doing, such as continue to play music with iTunes.

Unibody MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3), 4 Gb, 2.5 Ghz

This terminal command will disable lid sleep, a 0 is off, 1 is on.

Disable Lid Sleep
sudo pmset -a lidwake 0

Enable Lid Sleep
sudo pmset -a lidwake 1

Check Staus, look for the Lid Wake value
pmset -g
