music when playing?

Anyone else listen to something different than the game audio when playing?

When I'm doing attempts for segments, I've only done this in one segment; and it was segment 7 of my previous run because the first 3 minutes where all just easy dropping/catching bugs and hoping for a bomb drop. I would turn the music off if I got a bomb drop. I expect to do it for tektite hover segment and segment 7 again. In almost all other cases the game audio is more important to me and helps me stay focused on the game.

Girly pop music for ESSing on GC.

I like listening to music when doing boring, repetitive things, but it makes me miss superslides :(

Mod ZFG to the rescue!

I listen to songs during the long and boring cutscenes, but never during gameplay.

I remove one of the audio component cable and I put another audio system. It's great for games you can turn music off like ssbm, ffcc...
For zelda running, audio is very importent and I sometimes use headphones to focus even more.

At my TP run seg 13 my brother was hearing music really loud, cousing disconcetration, though the segment was goo, just a couple of mistakes

I do the same thing. But if I really am in no mood to listen to the in game music I use my super secret hacker moves and disable the music myself. Of course I would never do that with a Zelda game though.

The audio doesn't work on my TV, so I always have on music. Usually something instrumental so I don't get distracted.

Every once in a while, when I'm doing I glitch that is very frustrating, I hum a song to myself to keep from getting stressed out.

If it isn't the game audio, I have serious trouble playing the game.  Especially back in my Mario Kart days, when I would actually time my MTs to the music in a couple cases.

Anything other than game music throws me off.
