Both of those sets would do the trick, I'd personally go with the Logitech's, as I've heard good things about that particular model, and you probably pay a premium for the Altec Lansing name.
I have the Creative I-Trigue 3200's, and as far as I'm concerned they're great for music, despite some negative reviews complaining of 'tinny' sounds. Not suggesting you should purchase these, but you could have a look at similarly priced Creative sets as well.

Thanks, I'll look into Creative speakers. I don't really like the design of some of their stuff though, mainly the three circle design speakers. I'm not sure which model they were though.

Any particular model or just the brand in general?

I recommend the X-540 Speaker System.
Amazon.com: Logitech X-540 5.1 Speaker System: Electronics
It is the one I have and it is awesome. I got it for 77 bucks brand new. I use it for my pc and when I game.

I would go 5.1, but I'm moving into a dorm in 3 months and I'd rather have something I can keep on my desk. Have you had any experience with good 2.1 systems?

Neither.
Unless they're just speakers to make noise, I'd buy a set of Grado headphones for under $100, or if you're not a very bassy person you cound try a set of IEMs for under $100.
When you say it's just being used for "music", I'm guessing the intent is active listening and not just background noise. If I'm wrong, go buy a set of cheap speakers from any brand, they're all pretty crap at the price range anyway~ (yes, even Logitechs will).

They would be for both active listening and background music. Also, I have Etymotic ER-6i earbuds, so I don't really want to spend more money on headphones. Do you have any suggestions as far as a 2.1 set goes?

No idea how much they are, think they are $110
I have heard a few good things about the Swan M10's
Newegg.com - HiVi Swans M10 2.1 Multimedia Speaker - Speakers
And put the sub on your desk, in front of you as if it was a centre channel, it play some directional sound.
Actually they might need an amp...
