Brian, there are no sounds sweeter (to a rider) than the sound of his wheels rolling on the pavement, the sound of the chain as it spools around the gears, the sound of a coasting freewheel and the sound of a chain as it shifts from one chain ring to the other.
Loud music, especially if it is not music of your choosing, can be distracting and annoying.
There is a guy who sometimes rides with our group. He is a nice guy, but he listens to a radio, through speakers, while on a group ride.
It is really annoying and it distracts from the riding experience.
Your set-up looks pretty interesting and clever; as long as you don't use while on a group ride then I guess it is OK.
Ride often...ride safely.
