I have found that, while not neccessarily falling in the category of "have to use a computer for", I do REALLY like having music to work with.
I also rather enjoy having more channels to watch than my local over-the-air broadcast television stations.
That said, my local cable provider sends some digital music channels my way, and I personally really like either the techno/dance channel, or the classical channel. It depends on the coding involved on which I tune into.
What's really cool is that, through being a subscriber, I can get either channel over the internets, do research on track lists, etc.
