One of my favorite mods I've found recently is better music system, which allows different playlists to play in different areas, so you can have an inn playlist play in an inn, or a ayleid playlist in aylied ruins, etc. However, as far as I've been able to find, no one has made a thread about possible songs to fill all these new playlists, so I thought I'd start one up. Furthermore, the explore, dungeon, battle, and public songs should work for people who don't use BMS, and possibly some from the other playlists. Some of these are from music pack, I'll try to list the ones I know are from specific packs, but I don't have perfect memory, sorry. All packs should be in the top 100 list in TESnexus, or were last time I checked.

I am not encouraging pirating these, please get them legally if you can!

Quick edit: For the sake of conveinance adding in the link to the mainhttp://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1035951 on these forums and the one on http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=149118. Also, you may have to use a sound editor to make these the same volume(or quieter in some cases, like out of battle compared to battle, etc) or cut off a loud ending note, etc (if any song on here needs that, I'll try to list that it does), fade out better, etc. I use http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for this, but any editor should work.
Arena playlist
Unfortunately only one song here I am really happy with, but it is perfect for the arena, the Beowulf main title theme.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wwrUsqeIbw

Ayleid Playlist
Thief soundtrack, vocals, zings, holy ground, the keepers, and the pagans. Thief has good music for dungeons, and these are the ones that work best in aylied ruins. Unfortunatly there's not a lot on youtube to link to, but if you look around I think someone uploaded the theif playlist on one of the mod sites....
Cemetary, listed as done by matti paalanan. Downloaded this off of TESnexus as part of a music pack, and I think it was used in many of the packs.
Two songs listed as Project divinity, and downloaded as part of packs off TESnexus, Gathering dusk, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmOP6oyLACs
Follow the Wind, again from a pack from the nexus

Chapel playlist
Ah, something not from a pack! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0am-2Jwg4NU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYmsjocHajI
Shadow of the Collossus soundtrack, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iv1o6Lzf1Y&feature=PlayList&p=C68FB6C61C8DC555&index=1 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFAvPhuuIAQ
Dungeon songs 05-09 from http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22085 Yes, they're listed as dungeons in the collection, but are actually church songs.

Cloudruler Temple Playlist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hTgvNsqb9Y From the Myth soundtrack, a great game, and the depressed, yet hopeful mood of this song works beuatifully for Cloudruler temple
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPw15XE-Iec and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egLpYkq1e5Y&feature=related are also excellent military, yet sorrowful themes for Cloudruler.
Furthermore there are two songs from packs in my folder but I can't remember the pack they came from, except that they're from TESnexus, VeniVeniemanuel, and Order of Dawn

Dark brotherhood playlist
Unfortunatly, many of these are from packs, and are listed as dungeon 1, 2, etc. However, from packs I also use Celestial Aeon Project's Dark secrets, and erdenstern's The Cellar.
Also I use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA9bPZjjQ1I&feature=related

Fighters Guild
#$$^ packs!:D Two songs listed as "Atmosphere #" one Town_05 probably from the same pack, a song called Vigilant hope, and another named kai Hartwig Wayfarer rise of the Norseman Edit: Vigilant hope is from the Adam Frechette pack listed below
As said before, these are likely on TESnexus though, sorry for the lack of use here.

Inn playlist
From the previously linked Medieval instrumental packs, MICpublic10, and MICexplore05. Also, I had some Keiko matsui songs here, but BMS was glitching and loading up the album art for whatever reason. However, I think by deleting the hidden album art pictures you should be able to run these without problem, so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzqsWxau_gI for those interested.

Mages Guild
More packs songs, when I have more time I'll try and find the packs i_i. Song names are 09 in a limestone cave, exploring (listed as Adam Frechett) Fate and Illumination(listed as Sean Beaseen), Little goblins, and the industrial halls. Edit:The link to Adam Frechette's music is in a post below

Night Public
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEHC-9jtFNk by Keiko Matsui. For some reason this song did not do the image bug that the others do, no idea why.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12_tr6Vrb7Y

Thief Soundtrack, a self-edited version of Rutherford castle

Night
Celestial Aeon Project Passing twilight
Thief soundtrack, Inn, Edited version of auldale, south quarter, and The overlook Manse
An atmosphere_39/sigh
And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y2RdA_7J3I

Oblivion Playlist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNCkjXvTvT4 I wasn't expecting this to work, since it's somewhat "delicate" sounding in a way, but it is amazingly fitting for oblivion. Try it and see:D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueFbsFFOfzE&feature=related Not quite as wonderful, but very good.
The Kurshok citadel from the thief soundtrack
And a #$@@# dungeon 06 and dungeon 09 http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/style_images/bgsdark/folder_post_icons/icon7.gif Edit: Dungeon 06 and 09 are from the AEterna pack listed in one of my posts below.

Ok!, Now for the folders everyone can use!

Battle
These may or may not be too epic for everyone's tastes, I play a T.I.E stealth char, so when things see me it's either run for your life of try and dodge a lot of blows that will take sometimes all of my health at once, so epicness fits.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv7c0si2AEo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXhoD9MUDts Kind of sticks out in the playlist, but works really well, especially in goblin areas, or in gates to Aesgaard:D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhOGEsjBr4M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4ZXkHbGjsU Slightly heavy for my newest char, but it's sort of "growing epicness" works well for oblivion in general.

Alright, I'm back, and time to add in some explore tracks!

More Stuff from packs unknown.... Only named one is Sean Beeson's Windmills

Public
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ok5rxAOoGM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhRApCAJyEs Seriously tossed around weather I liked this more for public or cloudruler, so you may want to consider either way.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyp_c9tBvV0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI2_xiNfg8g&feature=related
Much more together from the shadow hearts soundtrack, unfortunatly, either youtube doesn't have it, or is refusing to show, so no link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pITzg11h-hY&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEUhbpxK7rQ Yes, I like anime too much, but a lot of the music fits in oblivion:p
Ok, more pack music, this time all named, hurray!
Celestial Aeon Project, Angel's Redemption
Frozen Silence, Dream of a butterfly
Frozen Silence, Nightengale (Oddly enought, works especially well in merendin for all you Integration users)
Milkman Dan, These Wings
Nemisis Theory, Era Of Peace

Dungeon time!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxl08SguJ9E
Two more items that were in a pack, Project divinity's cemetary, and project divinity's In Mist Shrouded

Anyways, that's all I have for now, as I find new songs that work I'll upload them here, and hopefully other people will contribute any songs they've found to this thread so that we can get our folders nice and full:D

nice selection


I would use it with Better Music System if EMC would work with my Windows 7

Ok, Here is the pack for the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19594 soundtrack off of TESnexus.
Also, here is http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3908 music pack, used for several songs on this list, including one for the oddly hard to populate fighters guild list.
And here is the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27343, an excellent pack which I use several songs from, but unfortunately lists them as atmoshpere01, dungeon 29, etc. I highly suggest downloading this, especially for Dungeon 06, which is fantastic for The Oblivion playlist.
Note that if you just drag and drop the AEterna will replace your normal music, so I suggest looking through and handpicking out which ones you want, there's PLENTY there.

Thank you, thank you, I was already wondering where I was going to look for music, this should give me some ideas.

Awesome thread. When I get home I'll post my music folders for it

edit: For inns I use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhaisSnZjeI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwZ3JskY6XU from the Lord of the Rings Online soundtrack. Fits perfectly.

Liked? Will post more suggestions later

Sorry about not posting again before, back to back classes from 8am to 7pm on Thursdays. Thank you very much for the links, trying out several of them in game now, as well as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTjAJe0tZjw&feature=relatedof Prologue To the Ancient land from shadow of the collossus, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUNG1H6y0ko&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6RLuPEIZQ&feature=related from RE4 for possible dungeon music, although not sure if I'll keep them or not. When I have time I'll try to dig some more up. Let's keep this thread going!

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=910642&hl= thread from the Morrowind forums might have something useful for Oblivion in it as well.

Some of tracks from Secret of Evermore(May good for house, shop, or cities):
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whEJb_s-rJE
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvQNN1aymno

For going underwater, nothing beats this:

And for caves:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDPLZzJKFuo
;)


I also recommend some of Daggerfall's songs that have been put on Planet Elder Scrolls. Nothing's better than listening to the classic soundtrack of Daggerfall! And now, with the possibility of having songs for specific areas and events, Daggerfall's soundtrack fits perfectly.

And many more...

I personally use the String Quartet tribute to Coheed and Cambria's CD In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. It's just strings, with no lyrics or anything, I think it fits pretty nice into some of Oblivion.

Unfortunately, getting your hands on these songs isn't exactly easy to do, and I wouldn't say they're for everyone.

That's my suggestion. xD

Good idea!

Here are a few tracks I have in some of the harder to fill playlists, that have not already been mentioned:

Underwater:
Underwater Remains from FFX OST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DalZsYUQPp8

Bioshock Main Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mefr53H0mOs and Welcome to Rapture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zQn2vEe_BA
They are not unambiguously 'water' like the first track, but I associate Bioshock with water nevertheless so it was clear for me to put it in there
Besides, the whole soundtrack is available legally and for free in the internet, for example here: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Soundtrack-BioShock_28554137.html

Temple of Light from Fable OST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6TTZA6ODww

Daggerfall - swimming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hCEFcO79MI

Magesguild:
Daggerfall - explore 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMdWxq7QcYg

dark ages magic store 1 from Vampire the Masquerade Redemption: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq9fVXpvky0

Arena:
Arena from Fable OST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NyESUb9Q14

Here's another set of tracks, mainly from shadow hearts. This was meant to be a larger pack, but I wanted to check these out in game first, and life got in the way of Oblivion for a while. I should have more soon.

Dark brotherhood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1criBDo-vK4&feature=channel_page Shadow hearts covenant. Wasn't expecting this to work, but it fit in nicely.

Dungeon
In the darkness of a Labyrinth. Shadow Hearts covenant. Sorry no link this time, people don't seem to upload dungeon music on youtube a lot.

Inn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqTnfMLisLQ&feature=related SHC again. Might also work as a home of public theme.

Night(explore)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZJo1GVblFE&feature=related This cheery song is from the original Shadow hearts
Edit: actually, this one you may want to consider leaving out, it works in some places, like around oblivion gates, but when simply wandering doesn't quite fit imo. Also, you might consider splitting it around 1:50 so that the first part is a different song, which would probably make it more of a cloud ruler temple theme, and maybe an inn, or night public theme. Again, your choice.

Night Public
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZv88h5WtUk&feature=related Shadow hearts covenant.

Public
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVdiq8NGFzg&feature=related SHC again.Slightly asain style, but quite good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Xeekrs-8o&feature=related SHC yet again, asian stylings, but not strong and very nice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQKHMuKGnGI&feature=related Original Shadow hearts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqqCvB7V-jU Fullmetal alchemist. Yes, not shadow hearts, it's actually been in my list for a while, I just forgot to add it.

And thank you to everyone who has posted, added about 20 more songs to my folders thanks to you guys:D

http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/ site has a lot of free(!) atmospheric instrumental music for download as mp3 files.

The Native American pieces on http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?genre=World in particular strike me as pretty suitable for Ayleid ruins. Just scroll down to about the fifth track to see the Native American pieces.

EDIT: I like http://music.incompetech.com/royalty-free/Gagool.mp3 for dungeon-diving.

(It's going to take me a while to flesh out a whole set of playlists for use with this cool mod.)

gothemasticator

Check out this music project

http://chrono.ocremix.org/

If you have it, use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kflJQ4K9jq8&feature=related from Star Ocean 3 as the Oblivion music (Background music outside of battles in the video).

Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2fIJomB9vA&feature=PlayList&p=F4100A914560A52E&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=22 from Xenogears goes great for Ayleid ruins.

Thanks you very much for the suggestions, and here's four more from me.

Explore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYTDeWMrWUU&feature=related FMA soundtrack, an excellent one to look through for music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igwIC_v1ZBw&feature=PlayList&p=453E158D7F2523F6&index=35 FMA again

Night(explore)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99RrSYed_2Y&feature=related fma

Dungeon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEEhlZnTavs&feature=related and it's from an album I only decided to check for kicks (Devil may cry), but works very well, so I'll be looking through the rest of the CD's soon.

There should be more coming from me soon, haven't had a lot of time to play lately, but I should be good most of today and this weekend.

Three more additions.

Dungeon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB5FJ8h4k28&feature=related DMC 3

Public
Village of the Dog god from shadow hearts covanants soundtrack.

Night Public
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHcF7Ai6jUs SOTC

And a couple of Kuro[censored]suji (damn their inane censorship!) songs worth checking out for ayleid ruins or maybe night public songs, although they need a little editing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5d5UNW6CNk&feature=related Just cut off the last high point and smooth it to silence by 1:14
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN5xUiFeRbw&feature=relatedSame, but at 1:21

I wanted to say that
Music really almost changes everything on the game.

I've been playing for ages with only the music from the tv show Jeremiah. That sounds good in towns I reckon but it's time to get some more tracks. What would be the best pack to get from nexus? (specifically for in towns, taverns and stuff)

Overall I'd probably say the AEterna pack listed earlier in the forum if you had to just pick one, but it's always best to go through and download them all:D

Edit: For taverns and chapels the MIC packs are also great. But as I said, just check through all of them when you can, great thing about nexus's packs is they're free to download:D

This is just a quick note, the bug that prevented me from using keiko matsui's music where it opened up an "active movie window" seems to have an effective workaround. Just remove the tags from any music that would open those windows up and you should be good. Coolit suggests using mp3 tag to remove the tags from all of your songs at once, which takes only about 3 seconds. (tyvm for this btw Coolit, no keiko matsui was kind of irritating:D) Also you can if you need to edit the song, just load it into audacity, do your editing, and then export it either as a wav and convert it to mp3.

Anyways, one more addition to my list, then back to classes.

Ayleid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Mf8Xl8pUY Devil may cry 4

I've been playing Risen, which just released recently - and good god does the soundtrack fit perfectly into Oblivion. The soundtrack comes with the collector's edition, and so far that seems to be the only way to get it outside of ripping the music off of youtube.

Great game, by the way.

Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Here are some of the ones on my playlist:

I've got few more I use, mostly from other games like baldur's gate, Neverwinter Nights, the PSX DooM series and Couple of tracks from albums by Midnight syndicate and Nox Arcana. The rest are from Free MP3 sites, but most are so old, the site i got them from doesn't have them, or are long gone. :nope:

Well, this my contribution, hope it helps.
