request: background music player / folder

[xwormwood]

I would like to ask for a humble improvement.

Right now no SC game has background music while the game runs.

And this is surely a good thing.

But i would love the following upgrade:

a mp3-player in the game, which plays randomly thoses songs or tunes it finds in a new (to be created) folder, which could be empty in the vanilla version of the game.

Imagine an allied folder and an axis folder.

If you play the allied side, than the mp3 player could plays those files (randomly) he finds in the allied mp3 folder. If you decide not to play background music, you turn off the mp3 player or you don't copy your files / songs into those folders.

This way it would be possible to hear your (probably historic) music while playing the game, while the game designer / distributor wouldn't have to buy or license any songs at all.

Of course i can already run a separate mp3 player while playing the game, but if the game would be able to play allied songs while the allied player plays and axis songs (or no songs) while the axis side makes his moves, well, this could be a nice addition.

Just a suggestion, of course.

Definitely yes:) Good suggestion!

I agree it would be nice to have some music rather than some explosions.

Interesting idea, I'll actually try and look into this when I have a better chance and if it is not too much work I can look to add it in... but of course no promises
