a)I do mind having music played in shopping malls.Since the shoppers will talk or make noice,the sound,which is mix with songs, will be unpleasant.Producing sound will also need electrical energy,which need money.Instead of spending their money on songs,I rather shop keepers give free ice cream,etc.
b)I think they signify good luck.
