Since Touch has so few buttons, I've used the automatic feature...

The full featured bundle version of PocketMusic is $19.95, but there's a fair lot of features in the free version. Both are available here...

If you're bent on using some feature-lacking player like WMP, Sprint Music, or HTC Audio Manager, then you can install a separate app to kill the screen light. Use a search site, like Google, to find ScreenToggle. It's freeware, and the version for PPC2003 works nicely on Touch.

Good find nice alternative.
