Surprised it hasn't already been mentioned. GamingFM has streams of game music from classic consoles, modern consoles, PC games, and everything mixed together.

Another obligatory link: GamingFM, an excellent radio station featuring all game music all the time (including the occasional remixes and Minibosses tracks).

It's all a tradeoff- If you shun commercial radio and music with significant promotion behind it (i.e. label music) and prefer to experiment and check out independent music you've never heard before, then it's your time and money that you're going to spend to separate the wheat from the chaff. Which do you think is worse, spending $15 on a chart-topping pop CD with 1 good song out of 10 on it, or spending $15 on ITMS or Audio Lunchbox and ending up with 1 song out of 15 you can stand listening to more than once? Don't forget that music taste is extremely subjective- there are tons of rappers with huge followings that I wouldn't buy or listen to in a million years. I personally am not willing to spend hours hunting around for great independent music; that's my choice and I'm not unhappy with my collection, pattern of expanding that collection, or listening habits. (fortunately there are still plenty of free and legal methods of hearing an entire song before buying it, even if what you're looking for is pretty esoteric (and I'm not talking about Kazaa)).

I agree that "nobody" is not a good term to use here, but off-label music is not a vast utopia of excellent tunes ripe for the picking either.

GamingFM plays gaming music 24 hours a day.

I think GamingFM has the best commentary on the VGA, in this respect at least :)

I agree, it would be nicer to see additional channels to purchase this music through. Though at least my local comic shop carries a small selection (though mostly it's DDR).

One place I just discovered online is gamingfm.com, which streams videogame BGM 24/7. (though please, if you get addicted like I did, donate. I would hate to see them shutdown after getting /.'ed).

Also, I've noticed that sometimes it's cheaper to purchase the BGM from Ebay sellers overseas. However, I do support gamemusic.com and if you are a Square fan, the Project Majestic Mixes are a must have. Project Majestic HomePage

Now if someone could just crank out a decent remix of the M.U.L.E. theme, I would be in heaven.

Dr. Wu
"Yes, There's Gas In The Car"

last thing I want to see is N'sync or Christina Agulera making game music.

I most certainly hope good quality composers make the game music

On a side note, one of the better places to listen to game music is GamingFM. But beware of the Sonic Arcade tracks.
