So umm, not sure if all of you have this problem, but once in a while, ESPECIALLY online, the game won't play my personal bgm. So I end up listening to the music on the disc.

Let me just say that I actually enjoy the music they play in the menus. I like the slow, jazzy/easy listen tunes. But what the hell happened to the in-game music?! The ones they play when you're racing.

Most are terrible, some a flatout creepy. I keep getting this one track that keeps saying something like: "I heart everything" in a creepy, robotic, almost cryptic voice. I'm not kidding, that track creeps me out, haha.

Then there's another one that says: "I remember..." in a sad, regretful, remorseful, female voice. She makes me feel like I just lost someone dearly, or a relationship had ended in a tragic way... Stop making me feel sad!

Well, if you don't like the music, you can always import your own music using a USB or external HD. Just put your music in a folder in either devices then just plug into one of the ports. Go to music and you should find your device. Make a playlist then launch GT6 and go to settings and then music then edit like use custom playlist and pick the one you like

The reason he's listening to the game's music in the first place is because his own occasionally doesn't play. Do keep up. It's mentioned at the very start of his post.

Personally I like the menu music in GT6 and most of the race music (before I turned it off). Music is subjective. You ask what happened? Maybe your tastes changed. Or maybe they aimed the soundtrack at a different, perhaps younger audience. They certainly seemed to aim the rest of the game at them.

I'm not sure how to stop the game from not playing your music but I'm sure it's covered in one of the threads that have been made before on user BGM.

Musical taste is subjective. Personally I turn all the music off in virtually every game due to its distracting nature. In the case of racing games I want to hear the car, the road, the other cars around me. There's a lot of information and feedback there and the music covers that up or limits it greatly. In other types of games it can keep you from hearing enemies approaching and in some it can even obscure the source of incoming damage.

I do too, I think most of the music is decent enough. Especially the jazzy/loungy menu music. But for whatever reason, I keep getting "I heart everything" and "I remember..." whenever my personal BGM doesn't play on online races.

Yes on the 2nd one, but nay on the 1st one.

The "I heart everything" song sounds like something Ross would play from Friends:

I like it quite a bit... mostly doesn´t interest me, mainly because i´m more into DnB, Progressive House, chillstep, etc... Besides the menu tracks the one who did interest me was Aurora by Camo and Crooked and Metrik. :)

Totally agree that when driving at the limit, the last thing I need is to listen to music, or have any other distraction in the room. Furthermore, @VBR claimed that the extra workload involved for the PS3 is best avoided when racing online, and insists that players in his lobbies turn their music off. Makes sense to me that the PS3 doesn't need the distraction either!

That said, I do play GT music at other times, and I prefer GT5's selection.

I like it,Better than GT5 anyways. 'All my Life" is a class song 8)

Edit: can't you stop playing the songs you don't like in the music gallery section?
 
I like GT6 for the bigger collection of Daiki Kasho´s music compared to GT6 and the menu music is great... I mean Isamu Ohira´s "GT2 Japanese dealers" song From West to the East... That is one of the songs from my childhood! But I like GT5´s soundracks for having some of the artists i most like: Deadmau5 and Apex.
 
God I hated that kids singing thing in GT5. Bizarre and annoying. I've never heard any of the music in GT6. I turned it all off as soon as I installed the game. I can listen to music while driving my real car but in the game it is incredibly distracting - probably because the general "feel" of the game is strongly reliant on the sounds of the engine and the tires I'd guess.
 
My only problem with GT6's soundtrack is that it still doesn't include any new wave tracks. Come on, this game features more 80s cars than any others, it now even features a 288 GTO, and yet they won't give us any track from Laserhawk or Power Glove or any of the "classic" authors?

Untrue. GT5 had Sails of Charon by the Scorpions, which was released in 1977 in the album Taken by Force (and as a single in Japan in '78, if I recall correctly). Also, the new wave scene is very active nowadays, and both authors that I quoted are contemporary.

Mind you, my complain was more of a tongue-in-cheek one. I actually don't mind the current soundtrack work (it's good, and if I don't feel like listening to PD's selection of songs, I can always go for a custom soundtrack). But hey, it'd have been cool to get some of that 80s vibe to go with all the boxy keycars and overpowered hypertechnologic sedans and squaaaaaaaare supercars the game features.

Enormous Penis a capella is better than most everything in in GT6.

Bilingual bonus: in Italian, the word "cappella" is also used to indicate the foreskin.
 
Forgot about that track. In GT6, they did put in some Depeche Mode, so they are looking at remixes of older songs.
