        super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);

        setContentView( R.layout.main2 );

        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.window_title);

        title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title);

        icon  = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.icon);

        logo_image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.logo_image);

Don't mess with the back button behavior. In this case, you have to use a service to play and control your music. And stop the service when you want to stop the music.

You can send an Intent to the service and so, control the actions of your player. The activity is not a background class. Your Activity is the view of your application, so, if user want to leave the activity will be killed. So, to keep the sound playing (like a player) you have to user the service.

You can override the 

void onBackPressed()

method of the Activity class yet as Neto already hinted you might not make your user happy with this.
