OT: SEV music on Toyota website ???
Today I was browsing around the Toyota website looking at new cars, and when I went to the car customization page to try out their interactive options selector, it starts playing a familiar tune... It's the same music as the "Space Empires V Main 10" song!
This is the Toyota website.
Choose "Corolla" from the left menu and it opens a window to configure the accessories. Skip the introduction, and in the next screen where you choose your car options, it plays SEV music. |

Doesn't SEV use some freely available music? I think SEIV did, not sure about SEV.

I'm pretty sure SEIV's music was all original. In the manual, the only music credit is the same two people credited for the "Old Sound Effects".

I recall a few years ago someone found Starfury music on the History Channel... 
Funny you mention that too, because my dad was looking for a new car the other day, and he was at the Toyota website looking at Corollas, but unfortunately the sound on his PC must have been off because I didn't hear anything...

Re: OT: SEV music on Toyota website ???
I liked some of the music in Starfury so much that I asked Aaron about it. He gave me the name of the guy who composed it and said he just bought rights to put it in his game. I checked out the guy's site and found some of it there. Since then, someone told me that the music in the SEIV Gold MUSIC folder came from the same guy. I assume then that anyone can pay him the rights to use it.
(Isn't it annoying how I keep saying "guy" instead of his name? I can't find it....)
I've had similar experiences with sound effects from old N64 games... stuff you hear that often over an extended period of time gets "ingrained in yer brain" and you hear it right away.

Yeah that's about what I was thinking. It wasn't actually written for the game.
