Actually there is such a thing as a "Video Hard Drive" I forget who makes it.. but it is a hard drive optimised for use in Video recorders and for playing Video on computers.. Other than that it is a standard hard drive and yes it can be used for any computer storage programs, data (Video is just data to a computer) and the like.
The biggest issue I see with playing music through the TV is many TV's are interlocked in RV's. and will not play period when driving,, Of course a bit of re-cabling and you can use the dash radio to play the music off the DVR, Also, in my house I can play it via the house radio/"Home Theater" system using the inverter. In short, I have a lot of options. You likely do too.
Another option is to play other recorded music while driving,, I have hundreds of hours of assorted format recordings here. MP3,, CD,, MiniDisc (You wont find many of those any more) and even Cassette. (Can not play in Motor Home at this time but can in car).
But then I like Music.
On a good portion of the freeway Pandora and my Smart phone work.. Not so much off the freeway.
