they should just make it possible to put in ur own music and everyone would be happy
 
OK - I seem to be among the few people who actually like the GT4 soundtrack.

I like it so much, that I went to great lengths to put it on CD. This involved downloading software and codec's, ripping all the music from the GT4 disc, converting it to MP3, then burning it to CD.

Why?

Well, two reasons.

1: So I can listen to it in RL, when working or in my car. I find that some of the tracks are very good.

2: So I can listen to it when I'm racing in GT4.

Sound weird? Well, it's like this:

I've never put the music on in GT4 for the fundamental reason that I can't turn it off. There's no toggle switch in the race! Why couldn't they just put in a pause menu option for Christ's sake! This means if I get sick of it, if I need to concentrate hard, or for some other reason, I'm stuck with the damn music until I finish the race. So, what to do? Well, how about I pop the CD I made into my stereo? OK. Now when I'm sick of the music, or don't like the song I can grab the remote and stop it, or alternatively find a song that I do like and play that.

I think it would have been so much better if they'd have just put an option in the pause menu. You can do it in the replay - circle will turn the music on and off - why not put something similar in the race? Is it that hard?!

Anyway, I enjoy my GT4 music an alternate way to the way PD had planned, and as an added bonus I can listen to it when I please, or more importantly, no listen to it when I want.

Can you imagine doing a 24hour race with the music on, and getting sick of it by hour 3? :scared:

One more thing: I can't drive without the engine sound - never know when to change gears, and there's no way I'm driving an auto... :)

I like the music as well, but only listen to it during replays, not while racing. Also, the classical music in the photo mode slide show thing is a VERY cool idea! It makes the pictures become kinda like art....:)

I usually turn off the game music and put on my iPod for endurences. Mostly because the game's playlist would repeat itself about 15 times in 24 hours. That would be rather annoying.
 
I usually have the music turned down. I just wish that I could change teh menu screen music. I am tired of that background music that sounds like someone just playing on an electric keyboard. I would love to put some of the classical stuff in for that.

If I decide I need music while racing I put on my iPod. I have enough music on there to do a full 24 hour endurance without a single repeat. I don't care if they did put 90 songs in the game it can't compete with that. I even have a special 8 hour playlist of songs I like to play when driving in real life that can get me worked up into a fast driving mood.

I would have liked it if they would have let me load songs off of my USB flash drive. They showed that they could do that when they allowed you to access it in photomode.
 
well it would gett annoying every 3 hours hearing the same songs over but also it would be nice if u can change the music during the race also
 
When I race I turn the music off. I like to listen to what is going on in the car and the sound my tires make so I can know when they are on the edge.

For the replays I love the classical music, around Nurburgring in a BMW 2002 or Datsun 510, it is pure joy! 👍
 
Does anyone else think that PD gave a list of words to some of the artists to make song about racing? They say things that are out of place, seem like they are trying to hard to make "racing" references. Like saying "dirty air" or "my crew is faster than yours", random boasting about how “clean their "ride" is, etc like this is NFS or some street racing.

Then there is that horrible sound where that chick is like "have you ever ridden a hot rod before?? Well maybe you haven't" SHUT UP about the damn HOT ROD!!! After running the nurb in the motor carriage for 10 hours they can get really annoying.

Remember GT3, with snoop dogg, they just gave him a list of cars to rap about, "PT cruiser" why the hell is he talking about that turd!

That song hit home with me since the PT Cruiser was my starter car.
