Pardon me while I complain about the fun, free games I've been playing lately. I see this mistake made over and over and I just don't get it. The games nearly always include a button to mute the sound...

...but for most games, this is a single button and it kills both the deedle-eedle-eedle endless background music *and* all the fun sound effects. Only about one game in four offers separate buttons, to kill the music loop (and for many of the games it's way beyond the tone and MIDI-based stuff we endured in the 80's and 90's, but who cares after the fifty-eleveth time through the tune).

Maybe it's hard to separate the sound tracks. I can't imagine this is the case. I want my bullet sounds but not the music, is that too much to ask? Thanks.
