Re installing emms playlists as soundscapes -- I dont see why not --

One reason I eventually landed on randomly repeating nature sounds: With
music playlists, streaming radio etc -- the media that is playing
changes  without being in lock-step with what you're doing.

My intuition (completely unproven at this point) is that such switches
were actually preventing me from focusing fully on my current
activity -- and where I was fully focused, the change in music as the
result of one track ending and another starting actually took my focus
away.

The reason I built this prototype where those changes are in lock-step
with my own activity changes wer   specifically to mitigate that.
That said, this is all still conjecture that will either be proven or
disproven by usage over time.

emacspeak/lisp/soundscape.el should be runnable in vanilla Emacs -- let
me know if you happen to try it and hit any issues
