That was one of the reasons I most wanted an iPad - now I find that the music goes off when I access a game. Very disappointing. Thanks in advance for any help.
iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 5.0.1
It may depend of the games, but I usually play games with my own music. You probably need to check the settings of the game to see if the music is on/off.
Hi there,
Usually, you can mute the game through the game settings, and then start your music from the controls in the Multitasking Bar (double click the home button, and then scroll left).

Yes, it's vey easy actually. Just mute all of your games sound, then double tap the home button and slide it to the right and then use the bars on there to turn up either brightness or sound. I listen to music from Dropbox by saving them as favourites and I can listen to them offline so I know this way works if you want to listen to music while playing games. Hope this helped :)
It very definitely depends on the game.
I don't know about these specific games but I have been listening to music in a bunch of games, but I can't say all the titles for sure (I desinstalled most of them after finishing them and I don't keep track of such a think) but Flight Control HD allows you to play your music.
When in the game, what happens if you double click on home then swipe left-to-right to show the music controls andstart your playlist?
If I have music playing in my most common apps, iPad (Music for you, I think) or Pandora, then it continues to play in just about every game I've tried them on. In most cases you wind up with music and game audio intermixed. A very few apps, Scrabble being one I found, will sometimes pause (stop) the iPad app if you take the game volume setting off the minimum value.
Where is your music playing from? It's not iTunes, unless things are desperately different in iOS5. I'd expect Music and Pandora to work the same in the new OS, but if you're using some of the streaming apps then the same might not apply to them.
What games can you listen to music with? I have tried turning game sound off (when it's an option) - doesn't help. Seems like when iPad senses I have turned on a game, it pauses iTunes automatically. I have tried with Crystal towers and FrActal. Thanks much.

Chess (iChess Lite), Solitaire City, Pinball HD (but who'd want music with that one?).

I doubt that muting the game sounds will enable music. Either the game app blocks music or it doesn't,
on an iPad, can I listen to music while playing games?
