Linda, In the February 2008 issue of __Library Media Connection__, p. 48, Carol Simpson seems to think it is okay if you confine it to one classroom and use a "home type" player.

"However, playing music for background as long as you are using a typical home-type player is not a problem. Once you extend beyond a home-type player into media distribution, or the PA system, you are going to have a difficult time justifying this." C. Simpson; Library Media Connection; Feb. 2008, p 48.
