Music is a very powerful tool, not many people are willing to admit it but they remember hooks to songs they used to sing from age 2 or even songs they dislike. Many will say they like a song because it has a nice beat and the lyrics mean nothing but I ask you to consider this! If a typewriter has no ink will it not leave an impact on the paper while the typist types?
What does the bible say about music? Explicitly, not much! The bible doesn't always have to spell things out but it does give principles that can be applied to every situation. In this case it tells us that whatever comes out of a persons mouth should be beneficial to the ones who hear (Eph.4:29) and that our power of speech/song should be used to encourage each other (Eph.5:19).
If life and death is in the power of the tongue (Prov.18:21) what we allow people to speak into our lives can kill us and spur us on toward a greater good.
Purchasing music isn't cheap but check the listings in your media player's radio category (winamp, itunes, wmplayer) and I'm sure you can find radio stations like Radio Y or Tehilla Radio.
There is always an alternative, you just have to want it bad enough!
