Isn't this more something to write to the mageia-development mailing
list? https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev

They are the ones who'll know whether it can be made possible without
major problems to listen to music while installing Mageia and/or
before logging in, and if it is possible and OK, one of them must be
willing to write the needed code.

About the last part of your mail:

Personally, I know only very few people who don't need a password to
use their computer. The few I do know, still don't want to have an
insecure system.

If you need to check a website that you don't trust, you could use the
guest account (no password needed and it uses a restricted shell)

Cheers,
Marja
