Do you mute the music for that time then instead of stopping the playback? If you do you might also be someone who forgets about the mute or simply forgets to disable it at a later time unless you notice that there is not any music playing.

If you are that kind of user you might like the little script I found at the Donation Coder forum that displays a customizable mute message on the computer desktop. The idea is basically to display a test alerting the user to the fact that the music has been muted on the desktop.

The script has been modified several times by user requests so that it is now possible to customize it extensively. The position of the display can be changed as well as the font and style of it.

osd mute

It can be downloaded as a portable software executable or as a Auto hotkey script. The scripts options are available in the system tray after right-clicking on the program’s icon.
