I listed to the in-game music, but I also have my other computer playing random stuff from iTunes. Nothing particular. Right now it's a 500 classic song mix.
I guess if I'm going for theme, I'd play Sabotage by the Beastie Boys when send out some spies.

I just turn on the radio and set it to my local rock station. That way I don't get the annoying skipping noise when the game starts to lag.
As for music that fits the theme... I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Edit: Never mind, 1812 Overture when you discover/use cannons

Here is a link to a page with links to free radio channels with film music: http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Film&maxbitrate=999&numresult=25&s=
Streaming Soundtracks and Radio Rivendell are my favorites. Rivendell has a more Lord of the Rings/Medieval vibe to it and Streaming Soundtracks generally includes all the good stuff like James Horner/John Williams and other blockbuster (orchestral) conductors. I consider these the perfect Civ radio channels. Plenty of epic fight music!
If you're going for something a bit more exotic, try http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/shiva-ethnic/hifi_play.
(Link above: Indian sounds. Link below: Arabic with Indian influences)
http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/solace-gathering/hifi_play Play as India or a Middle Eastern Civ and you've got your perfect background music. I found that site one day browsing these forums and it is quite a unique in its 'weird' but Civ-appropriate music. That's just one link. The site has many more (but every song end with a short commercial to buy the CD)
For something Japanese, click here: http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/solace-balance/hifi_play
There is more nice stuff to find if you click around.

Great, now, to avoid opening a new thread.
First Question:
Exactly where do I put the music at?
Second:
I love the Celtic music from Call To Power (Original), is it possible to place those songs to play in CIV IV BTS?
Third:
Is there a certain order I need to place them in?
Thanks and hopefully someone can help a grateful old soul
