Hmm, "pleasant" music is overrated. I just flew back from AMS on a 330 and they blasted some really high-octane Mozart during boarding and after we landed in DTW. Those high-pitched violins are downright annoying after a long flight (and when your body clock says it's midnight) The volume was pretty close to painful. Music can be nice but it should be something less aggressive, ala the things they play in that neon tunnel at DTW
