I grew with Nishant that Noise should in fact close its window rather than 
minimize it. Having it bound to a workspace is definitely not what I expect to 
happen.

But like Nishant, I don't interact with the music player window very often. In 
fact, on my phone I use the system player controls and rarely ever actually 
open the music app unless I'm in the mood for a specific song.

Best Regards,
Daniel Foré
