Count me in (just tell me what to do)
I'm going to prepare a new version of DoM for download (hopefully becoming the official download... nothing new just Som improvements)
I'd like to set something up so people can replace the soundtrack with your best stuff so to hear it in game...
I kinda think it would be a neat idea to encourage people to buy deluxe soundtracks for their Som games. Both to support musicians, and because I think it's probably a legitimate/uncomplicated way for people to make games with professional musicians' music. By either A) finding a service that lets you make your own mixes so to speak and encouraging people to buy it. Or B) making a list of your suggested listening and just letting people find the songs for themselves.
I know a lot of Xbox games let you provide your own BGMs. So afaik there's no reason for indie game developers to seek out contracts, unless specifically for publicity purposes.
I'm sure I'm not the first to contemplate this, but it's a way of doing things I'd like to try to encourage authors to consider.
