Ambient music for the office

I picked up a nice little iPod accessory last week for my office: The JBL OnStage 2 speaker system. The little unit has nice sound, doesn’t take up much space on my already cluttered desk and let’s me listen to podcasts and music without the need for headphones. For some reason, when I listen to podcasts with headphones on, I have more trouble concentrating on the task at hand then when it’s a more ambient sound. Must be my poor multi-taking brain. Anyhow, the OnStage 2 has touch-sensitive volume buttons on the front of the unit, a little remote for skipping, volume and pause/play as well as an auxiliary jack for hooking in other devices – such as a portable XM reciever for days when the Red Sox play on weekday afternoons (not that I’d ever listen to the game…. noooo).
