The background music tends to take a while to start or (rarely) never does, if it does start it has a tendency to change, stop or restart in the middle of another track. Again this issue is just a minor inconvenience, but it would be nice to have fixed if possible.

Fixed.

Say hi to Mojang, because they completely rewrote the music code in 1.7 and that's how the game's music works now...

oh... so do I need to close this Issue, or do you think there is a way around that?

I might be able to work around it, I had to overwrite the entire stupid thing so I might as well try to fix it.
