I built a system for this! Or, well, comprehensible input more broadly - it mostly uses text. Dreaming Spanish sorta takes this more audio-based approach.
I do question whether it's helpful to focus on audio without text. They're focusing on melody and rhythm, and it seems that listening without subtitles is better for that, but that doesn't get you understanding, while listening to comprehensible input with subtitles lets you get melody, rhythm, and actual vocabulary and grammar at the same time. It also lets you stretch "comprehensible" a bit further, since you have an extra source of contextual input.
Babies also have a lot of context for what the words they're hearing actually mean. I suppose there's the "watch translated peppa pig" approach for that.
My project (https://nuenki.app) translates appropriate-difficulty sentences into your target language as you browse, so you casually pick it up over time through comprehensible input.
I'm learning German and I've been enjoying browsing and reading with Nuenki. It's a lot of fun to see a sentence in context and find out you are simply able to understand it, though sometimes I have to fight the urge to instinctively hover to reveal the original text. Thank you for this plugin!
