This may be redundant, since any device accessing Novlr is almost certainly capable of running Spotify at the same time--why clutter our interface? (Spotify has also come under fire from the British Society of Authors over audiobook stuff, and we may not want align ourselves with them.)
OmmWriter and Freedom both have a very small library of looping music/ambient noise built into the app. Something like that may be simpler and offer more to our users.

Pamela Koehne-Drube Thanks! I think the best implementation might be a single button: "music on/off". When switched on, it would start a random shuffle of tracks from the library (ideally with a couple of seconds of cross-fading). There are some great royalty-free options on jamendo.com and some free-free options on freesound.org. It's the sort of thing that we could scale up by adding more tracks if it's popular.
