Background music that is barely audible can be a very valuable thing, IMO.
If I'm busy around the house but within earshot of the sweet spot I call my listening room, I will sometimes play recordings that I know I don't really "like" in order to keep them on the ol' backburner for a while. While I may not like this or that in the here and now, I want to keep my mind open to the possibility that my personal sentiments will change at some point in the future.
The music I dislike today could make sense to me tomorrow, for a variety of reasons. I don't want to miss what I might end up missing so I try to listen (at least once) to as many different things as possible.
Sounds to me you are talking about music you are curious about, even if you do not like it yet; not the music "you really do not like".
I too explore music in the background that I do not know. But not the music I know and "really do not like".
... music that I don't necessarily "like" but am curious about (on some level) just the same.Even if the music at first seems neither pleasing or curiosity-inspiring I might decide to listen to it, at least from afar. I can't change my mind about music that I have not heard and memorized to some degree, I want it to be stored in memory for future reference.
And yes - sometimes I'll listen to such music more than once, occasionally or in series.
