yes, playing video games while listening to music is multitasking.

on a single processor it would just split up the time among each task, since the cpu doesn’t need to be utilized all the time for each task it can split up it’s time among various tasks. then on a multicore, each task can get it’s own cpu which allows more tasks to run at any one time.
