Not that the music that comes with the game isn't all that bad, it's just that too much of anything can get old real fast. What kind of music do you listen to while playing SC4? Or when BATting, LOTting, or whatever.

er... I play all of my music when playing. I just mute the game's music and run Winamp on shuffle in the background.

Back before someone stole my IRiver mp3 player... 26.gif
I used to use a patch cable and play the IRiver through the PC's speakers, thereby saving a ton of memory.

In general, I like rock, jazz, and flamenco music. There is some hiphop and country in my library, but just a few songs.

I usually have nothing playing when I am on the computer, on SimCity I just turn the music off. But this could change in the future as I a getting into downloading music.

I listen to music with winamp (and sc4s music turned off, I don't even remember what it sounds like!).

I have Weezer, Pixies, The Pillows, The Beatles, (old) Radiohead, Oasis, and then some other songs.

Between those bands, I have alot of material to choose from. But I ussualy play Weezer which never gets old.

My avatar and signature and stuff don't realy reveal too much about me I guess. 1.gif

I have relatively eclectic taste in music. I don't run the SC4 music any more because it has become boring. I either listen to my satellite service which can be anyrhing from rock to classics, but is usually classics or I put on a CD in the background. Today I was listening to Gordy Lightfoot's album of songs (4 disks).

I listen to the stock music; my computer probably wouldn't support the workload of running sc4 and Media Player at the same time.  I'd put the songs in the custom music folders for simcity but that hasn't worked for me so far.

Edit: I didn't realise this was for SC4 playlists! 3.gif

I deleted all the default songs, and replaced them with Rush, Pink Floyd, and Lynard Skynard. I prefer easy songs when playing, and those are the easiest artists in my collection 3.gif

My SC4 music folder is filled to the brink with songs from Default, Guns n' Roses, AC/DC, Wave, and one song by System of a Down.
 
My region folder has considerably fewer songs in it, and I made sure the files were arranged so the game always starts with Welcome to the Jungle.
 
While surfing the net I usually listen to Dainbramage Internet Radio on iTunes, for variety's sake.

since I try to make my cities an urban metropolis, I listen to music of the hip-hop culture, my favorite artists such as DMX, TI, Tupac, Eminem and a ton of other artists. any other music would either give me a headache or put me to sleep.24.gif
