I took this from a post from somewhere else... :whistling:

*Music does not play constantly. It triggers dynamically depending on what's going on in the game.

I think this is what will make this game really feel much more natural than Oblivion and make the music really complement the gameplay, rather than just having the music constantly going.

It also helps flesh out the music and will hopefully make it less likely you will hear the same music over and over again, which got a little old in Oblivion.

The music is also sounding really beautiful and epic from what I've heard, so I'm really looking forward to just wandering around and getting fully immersed in the sights AND sounds of the game.

What a fascinating and excellent idea. I am quite looking forward to seeing this play out in the game.

The music is great though, I love hearing it all the time. I hope theres an option to keep it playing like in World of Warcraft.

Yeah it is great and I loved the music in Oblivion, but I also like moments of quiet where you can just chill and listen to the natural ambience of the environment, so that's why I'm really excited to see how this new feature of the music system plays out.

I really like this chance ... I love hearing the music in TES, but sometimes I also want quiet times, so this allow me to have the best of both worlds.

Is it just me or does that quote basically only say "combat music plays while in combat just like in previous games"? It could also just mean different zones have different default music, but I wouldnt get overly excited about it.
