Play iTunes Music Videos as sound only

I was trying to play a music video in iTunes and it started playing only the sound from it. I looked around for a few seconds trying to find the video window, and I restarted the video a few times to see if it would open.

Finally I realized that I had my AirPort Express selected as an additional set of speakers. I unchecked the AirPort Express and, sure enough, the video started playing.

I don't know if anyone out there wants to know how to stop the video from playing in music videos, but perhaps this might someday help someone who is wondering why only the music part of their music videos is playing.

[crarko adds: The evolution of AirPlay will probably change this.]
