So that the email program can add a 'tag' in the signature of outgoing
emails so that the recipients know what music you were listening to when
composing the email :)

I have not seen this in email clients, but would not be surprised if
some did, but have seen this in IM programs - both Pidgin and kopete
have options/plugins to show the music you are listening to in your
status.
