music radio
I suggest that the game has some kind of music radio system so (like a car) its not as boring during long distances and u can listen to something other than the BGM
Pandora + http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/
Sometimes I listen to music in-game, but I also often listen to music from outside the game, or just don't want to listen to any music (maybe I'm on the phone or something). I got tired of having to manually mute and unmute the VO music, so I wrote a plugin to let me toggle it with the command /snd. Then I bound that to my "o" key using the following command: /bind o snd

Don't you have a real radio, or MP3 player, or any sort of music player? As last resort, you can use multitasking capabilities of every supported OS and run your favourite music player while running VO in same computer.
All those solutions will provide much more/better options than any game will ever be able to!

+1 to an integrated music radio, accessable from the PDA, with different music available depending on the space your in. Add records or tapes or something that you can buy at capital stations that can play the music anywhere and at anytime.
Why? Wouldn't you rather see the devs spend their time and money on making the actual gameplay better? We can already play soma-fm, shoutcast, pandora, whatever outside VO and just mute VO's music. More official music would be nice in the very long run, but it's really just icing on top of the icing. Even fluffy stuff like improved ship models is higher on my wish list than more music.
What I would like to see is a few simple improvements to the audio API, so that we could make better music-related plugins. The primary improvements being an ability to query how long a track is, and an ability to find out through lua what tracks are currently playing. (If only one of those were to be implemented, I'd go with the second one because it could be used with a timer loop to accomplish the main task I need the first one for.). Ability to get a directory listing within the plugin folder would also be useful. (I'm not even asking to read/write arbitrary files, just to get a listing, and it could even be limited to only show files with the .ogg extension.)
None of those would take very long to implement, and would make any jukebox type plugins we might write much more user-friendly.
