In fact, it is possible to re-encode existing songs in such a way that they cause binaural entrainment (I have done this), though it lowers the quality slightly. Upside (for someone who has a hard time with the level of suspension of disbelief required for some chaos magic) is that switching between alpha and theta states causes hypnagogia, so if you encode odd songs as theta and even as alpha you will probably start hallucinating (or at least having lots of magical thinking) by the end of the album. I can provide shell scripts for doing this, if you have a working bash instance + sox/lame. If you want a “better” state of gnosis from this technique, you may want to try binaural entrainment.
