For playing audio in the background, you'll want to look into using a BackgroundAudioPlayer. This page describes how you can use this class. This will show your tracks in the volume control, but there isn't a way to play audio in the background without that.

If you wanted to just enable your app to run under the lock screen (and remain the foreground app) you'd have to do the following:

  • Set PhoneApplicationService.Current.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled
  • Handle PhoneApplicationFrame.Obscured and Unobscured events to detect entering and exiting the lock screen

It's also a good idea to have a setting that lets the user disable running under the lock screen.
