I can well imagine that music might be a popular passtime among list
members (simply because minds that are simultaneously creative and
analytical are probably likely to be inclined that way). Myself, I
mostly listen to folk music, and play (& compose, improvise, etc with)
keyboard instruments.
I have three hours of music saved on my computer (and, of course, more
in my CD collection) which is divided into several folders, including:
- Folk music
- Instrumentals
- Songs in Foreign Languages
- Modern
The Songs in Foreign Languages include representatives from Irish
Gaelic, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Hebrew, and a native language of
Papua New Guinea. Some I have translations for; some I don't.
I uploaded some fragments of my favourite folk music to

(It's on my wishlist to get a microphone suitable for recording voice
and my keyboard playing straight onto my computer; when I have this
I will certainly record conlang sentences.)
Adrian.
