OT: Music
 

How many of you like to listen to MP3's while playing? I do and I have a nice assortment of songs that I have collected. (Most of them I have the original CD for, and if I like a song that I find, I often buy the CD as it is better to have it than not to.)

I have found a couple of songs recently that I really like.

Trik Turner "Friends and Family" (Used if for a bike video for the family. Good Song."

Dave Mathews Band "Long Black Veil"

I have many others, but these two are the two newest to my collection. It took me a while to find the Trik Turner CD, but Fred Meyer had it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Trik Turner is cool. I have a few of their songs on here. I'll be buying their cd sometime here in the near future.

But I do like to listen to MP3's while I'm playing SEIV. Actually guess what I'm doing now... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif I have a collection of around 300 MP3's which total about 20 hours of playing time. So I could stay on here all day and play SEIV and never listen to same song twice. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Does anyone know of a legimate source of mp3 files that feature ambient/sci-fi kind of music that suits the game?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I found a lot of ambient bands on mp3.com but i dont know if there are a lot sci-fi related, nevertheless its a good source of any kind of music.

I have WinAmp playing music in the background almost constantly... Right now my list has 478 songs totaling twenty-eight hours, five minutes, and thirty-one seconds. It's about to be expanded by my newest edition, the 2002 Warped Tour Compilation (50 songs, unknown length). Heh...

Sure, almost none of it ever really fits with SEIV... there are a few classical songs, but it's mostly Alternative Rock, Punk/Emo, and Metal. As for the number of them I have CDs for... I'm not sure on that one. Maybe half, but a some of them are recordings of live performances, so there isn't really a CD for them. I'm working on buying most of the CDs, but I don't expect I'll get to buying all of them... way too many bands.

I also have Winamp playing my mp3's in the background while I play SEIV, however my playlist is currently 2,548 songs and growing. 90% of those are from my extensive CD collection of classic rock, blues, and new country, with some new rock as well.

Hmm, I don't remember putting that site in my profile... oh well. Glad you find it at least a little interesting, even though it's purpose is more giving myself something semi-constructive to do, and getting stuff out of my system (the rants). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
