Actually I got my idea from my father, who is in his early 80's. He is a devoted fan of "easy listening" music, ie, the stuff that dentists and elevators torture you with. (An aside-family car trips as a kid were torture).
That stuff isn't around much anymore but he made dozen of cassette tapes of it from the radio. He then used the system I described to transfer them to CDRs, which he plays on his computer while playing free cell (he's been through the entire free cell cycle 1 1/3 times).
