DoctorH has most of his priorities right. Keep blasting that KPop yo.

As for music, I typically blast it up, I figure that if I hear "Construct Additional Pylons", I'm screwed anyways. I try to play without any notifications about whether my forces are under attack or other shit like that because by that time, I'm typically screwed anyways.
God Bless

yea i will pump my all that remains and disturbed at the start of a match and leaving my surround sound at full then with my earfones i leave the starcraft sounds on
early game it pumpes me up but as the game progresses i can barely hear what song is playing even though its so loud but then in times of desperation or my final push i can hear it and it pumps me up i gues its a prefrence thing

What I found was pretty cool...is that music OUTSIDE of SC really helps heighten the dramatic affects that you feel when you're playing the game, and it makes it a more enjoyable experience. But I personally feel that music w/o lyrics will definitely be more beneficial than songs with lyrics.

For example, I once was playing a TvP on Heartbreak Ridge, and mind you I am TERRIBLE at HBR at the moment, as I have only won 4...5 games on that map out of 20. I used to be D+, but I got bumped down 500 points for losing so many times on that map.

Anyway, besides my stupidity at times, I was playing the game, and suddenly, we were exchanging bases and killing each other. At one point, the Mission Impossible theme song came on, and it just made more hyped up about killing my opponent.

Ultimately, my point here is that listening to music doesn't necessarily contribute to better play, but it definitely can help raise the dramatic affects of the game and make it a more enjoyable experience (and for people who watched my stream, you'll where the Mission Impossible reference is coming from ).

If you were to actually use music, here's a couple thing's I would recommend:

1) Don't have songs with lyrics. It's controversial, I guess, but I've found that songs with lyrics makes me play noticeably worse than songs without them. I'm guilty at times of having songs with lyrics, but I usually don't play well with them.

2) Pick songs that match your pace You don't have to, but from my personal experience, it's definitely something that will help you become more alert. GOOD music that can move you with its tempo, pace, and pure awesomeness, helps to stimulate the mind and makes you more aware of the surrounding environment.

Anyway, here are a couple of songs that I like to listen to. Note, ALL of them are soundtracks. :D :

1) The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum Soundtrack - John Powell
2) The Dark Knight Soundtrack - Hans Zimmer
3) The Road to Perdition Soundtrack - Thomas Newman
4) Pandora ( :D Songs that relate to John Powell)

Sc music puts me into the mood for some sc, so i listen to sc music. ya... I listened to it so much that it just kinda ingrained itself into the game, and sc no longer feels right without it

my mp3 player had the starcraft music on it, and after listening to it a bit is what got me back in the mood to play after some months.. heh

This is kind of an old thread, but Music still applies. Here are just somore music links.
http://listen.grooveshark.com/
I would have to say. You might want to replace Pandora.com for this one cause it has K-Pop.
But once again it all depends on if you want to spend the time to customize a playlist, have pandora do it for you or what not.
Advantage of Grooveshark.
Choose your own music, make your own playlist
Advantage of pandora
You choose style, music is made for you.

I preferably do not like last.fm just because i know better ones =D

I usually listen to some playlist on youtube with Ratatat.
Songs like loud pipes and lex are really good for me;)

It's for me the best playlist to play SC. Very fucking good Black Metal, it gives you a good rythm for your hands. Now I've 150-200 apm instead of 100 (max)

But imo, listening music while playing SC is very important, it puts u in a good element.

Instead of music why not just a set of BOs, you pick whatever mp3 and it tells you the exact timings for a perfect BO.

"Send your probe out... build your stargate in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

If you scout something weird, just switch BO's haha.

HEy there were a couple nasty remarks but this is a good thread.. so music is good because it makes you rely on the mini map more.. so when you're in a tournament it's an extra advantage.. obviously.. but one detriment is that without it you may or may not find your apm slipping in late game.. I would recommend listening to a metronome on fastest as a reminder to keep up apm. also playing in front of someone or streaming your games helps. this was an apm thread right lols... no but music awesome.
