If they could make the music follow the gameplay, uuhhh that would be cool <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> I think i'll have my music off when i'm playing. Or is it only in the readyroom?
A while ago there was talk of getting an artist named <a href="http://www.jeremysoule.com" target="_blank">Jeremy Soule</a> was to make some music for NS if he was willing to do so for free. I don't know if is still a-gogo though. His music was kind of rock-orchestrialish I believe.
THe music plays at random times during the game. It has the prupose wanting you to do battle. There was no word if the aliens have there own sperate music.
Go look thru the forntlines thread, i believe that this whole music problem started when a PT mentioned that the musi started to play as he was getting into a firefight.

Loved starcraft music? *feels gutterclutch's head for fever* After about 2 hours of hearing the "diddly diddly dooooo!" guitar solos on the Terran campaign, I almost shot myself. Hoping that the music in NS is beautiful, which Im sure it is. The whole mod seems to be shaping up that way in fact... Btw, is it normal to be checking the main webpage every hour for the "NS Has Gone Gold!" news heading? Because I have found myself doing so...

The guitar solos in the Terran music were awesome, as was all of the Starcraft music, imo.
BUT, I really hope they give us the option to disable the music... eventually, I'll want to play my own tunes during the game as opposed to the same canned orchestral bit over and over again.
I think the whole Jeremy Soule idea is "just an idea". From the looks of it he is a professional game music composer and is probably paid well to do so. So I doubt he will do anything for free.
Nevertheless, I DO love his music, they are absolutely beautiful. I was totally mesmerized by the music during NeverWinter Nights.
You can use whatever music you like. Just stash any mp3's in the ns\music directory, and NS will randomly pick an mp3 from the directory to play at times. But I definitely encourage all of you to play with the default music for a while, because it fits the gameplay so perfectly. You won't be disappointed. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Aw greedo and molec(assuming molec was being sarcastic), you two must not have seen the movie Office Space. I am not a big fan of rap, but I do make exceptions. That song is one of those exceptions.
*edit*
I also am not a big fan of techno but the mortal combat theme song is my <u>only</u> exception. I would love getting pumped to that whenever entering the game or spawning...
