I turn off the music and listen to the radio.

Old Rock: Doors, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Hendrix, mixed in with some 70s/80s music - that kind of stuff.

I usually have all music turned off, the battle music has gotten repetitive. I still listen to some environment music and I turn the music on when I'm fighting a dragon or when I learn from a word wall.

Usually the default game music, but I just got Asylum by disturbed so I've been listening to it while traveling/dungeon crawling. Sometimes I listen to Slipknot, or Dethklok though. Really what ever I'm in the mood for.
oh ya metal head!! I usually listen to Korn or slipknot and sometimes volbeat,they have this awesome fighting song but I can't remember the name though. But ya I usually listen to whatever im in the mood for also

The ingame music it is just so perfect to the setting of Skyrim i cant imagine playing anything else especially when using headphones to get all the little details. If i did listen to anything else it would probably be of a fantasy and over the top flavor like Isao Tomita's FIRE BIRD and his DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS album. Alot of Toho Godzilla music as well by Akira Ifukube.

Skyrim's Music. For me, the best way to get into a game is listen to the game's actually music, specially for bosses.

Boss Songs always help me fight bosses for me in many games, idky.

Only what's in the game, but I have the volume turned down so it's just barely noticeable. I like having the music there, but I don't like it real loud, I find it too distracting. I do that for every game, if I can. (can't do it in FFXIII-2, unfortunately)

This. I don't want the game alerting me via a musical soundtrack. That would totally blow immersion.

my game music is off most of the time, in both Oblivion and Skyrim. The only time I turn it on is if my character is in a rich person's house, or in the Blue Palace...somewhere opulent. And even then, I'll only put music on its very lowest setting. I figure they could have some musicians hidden off in a room somewhere, or even a magical device that plays tunes or something like that.

Instead of music, I usually open up the glass door that leads into my room. There's forest back there, with birds singing, wind blowing, rain falling at times. In the summer there's also crickets and katydids making lots of noise at night. The way it works, sometimes it's hard to know where the in-game birds and wind and insects stop, and real-life noises behind my home begin. :)

Music is not the only alert.

Enemies will speak, threaten, grunt and/or scream the moment you get near.

You would have to be in successful sneak mode the entire game to rarely hear a programmed alert.

Also, when enemies are attacking you, they always make their presence known in the same fashion. There are no silent stalkers.

I suppose all of that can be turned off too, via console command.

I wouldn't know. I am on 360.

This.
All joking aside music, however great, does not play constantly IRL. If an enemy is alerted and shouts and so forth that's entirely reasonable but I don't want music in our world, it just is not immersive for me.

I really like the music from the game. I find it mature and really soothing. It was the same with Morrowind and Oblivion.

My missus doesn't mind when I sit up until silly o'clock playing it and she's trying to go to sleep. She complains over other games I play such as COD games as the music keeps her awake.

10/10 Bethesda for the music and sound from me :biggrin:

I usually prefer Classic. While fighting dragons, I like to listen to Mozarts "Dies Irae". When I loot a tomb or a nordic ruin filled with Draugr, I listen to "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saens. And while in a journey, I usually like listening to most pieces of Chopin, like the "Fantaisie Impromtu".

I normally just listen to my own music. I didn't enjoy Skyrim's soundtrack close to as much as I enjoyed Oblivion's for some reason, not really sure why.

Mind you, having just listened (after quite a while) to "Wings of Kynareth" from the Oblivion soundtrack, I would argue that Oblivion had the better music.
Not by much mind, but I think it's just on top.
