(Question) Do you ever overlay music to UO to add immersion?

Feeling like i'm actually in the place i'm at in game is really important to me. One of the things I do is overlay ambient sounds and music from youtube to match where I am and what I am doing. As I go to different places (unless i'm just passing through), I switch it up. I debated posting this because it may seem strange, but its worth it to those who may not have thought of it before.

For instance,

If i'm taming in the forest, I may listen to Forest Sounds.
If i'm taming on the snowy Dagger Island, I may listen to Snow Storm.
If i'm in a tavern with others, I may listen to Tavern Atmosphere.
If i'm at the Magincia docks for net night, I may play Sailboat Sounds.

Okay, you get the picture. I try to keep a few of each type, so it doesn't always sound the same each time. There are so many of these types of videos. At least for me, they add a little something to the ambiance that I can't always get from the game itself. Hope you enjoy the idea if you hadn't thought of it and are interested.

A fun idea, I should consider doing this, though often I just listen to whatever random music I feel like it. This also inspired me to find some ambience music for when Ine is at the tavern:

What I mostly hear. I was told once by someone. that everytime they saw Aedon this song popped into their mind.


Of Course In my deluded mind I think this is the right music.

If I listen to music, it's usually just something to put me in the right mood for the character I'm playing. :)

Yes, I overlay the midi songs from the T2A era like "Stones" and the like.
