Run this AppleScript to Hear your Music in Glorious Mono

I often work while my son is sleeping or napping. My desk is right outside his room, so if I want to listen to music, I need to use headphones. But I’m also often the primary caregiver at the moment and need to keep one ear open so I can hear if he needs something, which means if I want to listen to music I need to use headphone.
