When attempting to close a tab (or the browser) with music playing at Google Play Music, an unnecessary confirmation dialog box appears.

Reported by mlutha...@gmail.com, Feb 5 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Chrome/55.0.2883.87

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to Google Play Music
3. Start music playback
4. Attempt to close the Google Play Music tab or Chrome

What is the expected behavior?
The tab or Chrome will close with the single action of clicking the X (close) button whether music is playing or not.

What went wrong?
An unnecessary dialog box appears, preventing the tab in question or Chrome from closing. It is then necessary to interact with that dialog box to complete the desired action (close tab or Chrome).

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

It is understandable to seek confirmation to protect a careless user from inadvertent data loss, but there is no reason to ask for confirmation when closing a tab just because music is playing.

A checkbox for "Do not ask again for Google Play Music" would solve the problem.

This is what the site itself does in onbeforeunload event, not Chrome. I agree the behavior is terribly annoying. You can try various userscripts that block it. 
I figured that might be the case. Google is not responsive, but the Chromium team is and might have a way to solve it. I concluded that coming to them was the best way to fix this bug.

The extension below solved the problem. It does fix the bug discussed here, but didn't prevent a popup when I deleted a comment on this page. It is too bad I have to install something to fix this annoying behavior. It would be nice to have a way to fix it without resorting to potentially untrustworthy third party software.

I looked at the script itself and it doesn't appear to do anything it isn't supposed to, but I'm not a programmer.

Labelling the bug accordingly for someone from the respective team for their inputs.

Note: I was unable to test this from my location(IND) as this requires valid credit card details to activate the Google Play Music.
