there�s a bit at the beginning of midwich cuckoos by john wyndham where a conversation cannot take place until the gramophone record that is being played has finished because the �professor� thinks it would be just as rude to interrupt the recorded version as it would to interrupt a live perfomance. i haven�t read that particular book for 20 years but i am a wyndham fan (despite the fact that he doesn�t seem to realise there is any other class than the middle one�it�s kind of cute and quaint and only an englishman could have got away with it�well actually jane austin was also accused of doing the same thing but i�m getting totally off topic here) and that idea often comes to mind when i get into work and i�m listening to a song on my nano.
