Querier figures the sources was analog or a similar periodical.

"There was one story from that time period that I’ve read just once, but never forgotten and – naturally - I cannot remember the author or title. In the story, a researcher is doing computer analysis of the world’s most popular music to find common elements in the hopes of producing a perfect piece of music. The story ends with the researcher dying of malnutrition in rapture, unable to remove the headphones while listening to the end result - a perfect piece of music."
