The Ruling on the Necessity of Listening to Music

Question
I am a language student, and I study the German language. I am compelled to listen to some foreign stations in order to master the pronunciation of certain words, but there is music between some programs that consists of opera musicians and other things. Am I sinful for listening to that?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: We ask God to forgive us and you, for this is something that is widespread, and no one can completely avoid it, but we should avoid it as much as we can. And God knows best.
