I've never wanted those functions on my reader, because it's just that, a READER. If I want to listen to music while reading, I'll usually have and old mp3 player, or even a youtube Mozart Chamber Music playlist from youtube playing softly in the background.

The only function I'd like to see on my Kindle is a way to organise collections off-line, because I don't use wi-fi. But that is strictly book-related. If I wanted all the other gizmos, I'd either use my computer or buy a tablet.
