best music to play games to

[Kassiopeia]

I usually listen to in-game music. However with games that don't have much to write home about in the music department, I may have my own playlist. For example, Victoria, HOI and GalCiv. Or Civ, for that matter, or SMAC. You spend so much time with such games that the original soundtrack becomes repetetive and annoying. HOI works wonderfully with my own selection of classical in the background

I never use a straight ingame music selection, but use a blend of ingame tracks, soundtracks and classical music, randomly selected through Jukebox.

When I get a new game, I stick the music into my playlist.
