Not sure if this thread will go anywhere, but I'll give it a shot anyways.

While I like the default music in Distant Worlds, I run into the same problem I do with a lot of strategy games. Sitting down for hours at a time, listening to the same music, after a while it gets irritating. I'm pretty sure it's even a form of torture, and studies have confirmed it a cause for forms of insanity.
While those examples may be extreme, still, it grates after a while.

Typically for games I spend a lot of time playing, I'll make or find playlists on youtube. I have one for X3 with Blade Runner-esque music and Cowboy Bebop-like jazz for example.

For Distant Worlds I've been listening to the first 27 songs in this playlist

No doubt I'll soon get bored of this too, so I was wondering if anyone else does this, and if so, what your playlists are, or what you think a good playlist for this game is.

If a bunch of people post stuff, this should be a good resource for many many great playlists to keep our auditory experience of Distant Worlds fresh even through the longest of space epics!

Have you tried the picard mod? If so what do you think of the music?

I remember that "Hegemonia: The Legions of Iron" had very good music, so maybe You will be able to find it and add to Your playlist. One of many it's themes is right here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7m9UzmB2hI
If You liked it than I am sure You will be able to find other themes easily.

Hearts of Space (www.hos.com) is a space music streaming service I have subscribed to for years that fits in nicely.
