Is it correct for the CPU temp to be at 57-61 while just browsing the net and listening to music?
Sounds like a newb question I know.. but just gotta make sure ;)
 
Yes.
Have a look at Activity Monitor (Applications / Utilities /) and select All Processes and sort by CPU to see what the culprit may be.
