That sounds like a project for http://pynchonwiki.com,
which is now underway.

A start would be to list the songs and other pieces of
music that are mentioned in GR, in order of appearance
in the novel. I don't know if anybody has already
tagged these items in the text, if so that would make
it relatively easy to generate such a list.

I expect that sound files will be available somewhere
on the web for most of these, although it may take
some digging to find them. It might not be possible to
do this as a commercial project, I don't know, but a
playlist of some sort might fly.
