Fair enough. I know a lot of musicians, so I have an advantage. The
musicians I know also happen to write music, and are capable of
developing an idea, improvising, etc., and recording to very good
digital equipment.

If you don't know people in that area, it would be more difficult.

But every time I hear generic background music, I think it's worth it.
