I can't imagine thats just the screen. Is it the CPU that is drawing so much more power then it's supposed to do?
For music, CPU will be your biggest pull (assuming the screen is "off"). You also have power constantly going to the SD card interface and the external speaker. There really isn't a lot of power saving configured since that usually gets worked on after the majority of devices are known to be working close to perfect and stable.
