This is a resource allowing you to play background music/sounds for your games. I haven't used it in actual play yet, but it looks very promising!

Fascinating! Thank you for the link!
I use the CD player that's in the game room; due to The Missus' former career as a sound tech in theater, we have a surfeit of audio gear sitting around the house as well as over 300 CDs to choose from. The unit in the game room is a multi-disc cartridge-loader, and I have four cartridges pre-loaded for games with appropriate music for various types of games. (A sea adventure will have various nautical albums loaded, for example.) I keep the volume very low, and the players really seem to enjoy the music as a sort of 'soundtrack' for their adventures; they often joke that you can guess what's going to happen by what's currently playing, and they may be right. We've had some wonderful moments when the music fits the action perfectly.
