Not legal unless you have an agreement with BMI.

it is legal if you pay royalty and satisfy reporting requirements. you will need to make 2 payments, 1 for "performance" of the music composition, you arrange this with ASCAP, BMI or SESAC, but fees are minimal for non-commercial use. 2 for "playing" of the recording with RIAA. they now collect a $500 a year minimum charge, plus require you to keep a record of every person and every play.
