Whilst browsing the web I found this web volunteer project called Mutopia (http://www.mutopiaproject.org/index.html). A place where music is free for everyone! This could prove useful when Freeciv gets music support. Classic music from the baroque era sounds nice in any game! The site is aimed at providing musicsheets typeset in GNU Lilypond but they also provide midi's. I've listened to a few and in general they sound okay. Not with the "zing" and "dynamic" found in a filmscore most of us are used to. This is because the midi songs are mostly played on a single instrument (piano, harpsicord, violin etc..). They still sound pretty good however if you have a decent midi soundcard. I use a Roland Soundcanvas myself so actual milage may vary. Just take a look at Mutopia and listen I would say, Thomas van Kooten (CapTVK)
