Sorry I should have told you how to do it even though I've never done it.
To background an app add an '&' after the program name on the command line. (this won't help you in the gui world where you need to select items from the interface)
To background a currently running process, open a terminal and type bg # where number is the process id. It should work on juk, but YMMV.
To prevent a program from ending when you log out launch the app via the nohup utility. ex: 'nohup juk'

Could mpg123 be used with say screen? I will try it later tonight if I reboot..
If you are working remotely and you say run mpg123 in screen session will the music be played on the remote machine?....

I'm surprised noone's mentioned just starting another X session and locking yours.
