[QUOTE="Renfield, post: 4843221, member: 13493"] Well one thing I am trying is simple. Since my laptop died I've had to find a different method running music for my games. I still have my ipod and docking speakers so I set up a playlist (easily done with any player) and make sure to set it to repeat one. The playlist will consist of various music I imagine using at certain scenes as well as some basic background music just in case. Usually isn't too terribly long. With the ipod within easy reach of me I find it's easy enough to quickly switch to the next track on the list or the one I think best fits the scene without having to sift through the entire selection. This of course require some prep time to listen through your music, pick out the ones you want, make sure you know which ones fit which event/scene/battle and the like. But once you have that set up in a short playlist of 11-16 songs (usually more than enough for a four hour play session) for a single session it's a simple matter to switch to other songs. Next session, erase the songs you don't want in the play list, add the ones you do, maybe switch up your generics and repeat. [/QUOTE]
