In any case (speaking as a musician), isn't there are already too much "music" around you already? Supermarkets, home, muzak... you name it.
Enjoy the sound of reality, stay safe, and if you need it, hum or sing to yourself. You have a huge number of "music files" in your head already -- use them.
I'm a professional musician too, and for me riding is another way to get away from my job!
I wanna hear birds, dogs, cars, trucks, wind, sirens, rattlesnakes--but NOT music!
