My WMP won't stop when i close it, cos the music is going on for ever unless i turn off the PC. Anybody know why? (Task manager doesn't show it is working)

Or use something else.

567110 2007-07-09 01:32:00 this is a known problem with wmp, at least if you're running vista (?)

I've had the same problem from time to time, think you'll also find double clicking a movie file or music file will start the file but not launch the wmp window.

As far as i can gather, there's no immediate fix for this, suggest you try a different player.
