The ingame music of Civ 3 can be at times annoying, or inappropriate (at least in the Industrial and Modern eras anyway), and so the easy solution to this is to change it.
How many of you like to change your ingame music? (and to what?) And how many actually don't care?

Yes I change it.
I change it to OFF.
Mostly I have the television on at the same time. The History Channel is a good choice to go with the game. Have the Laker game on at the moment.

Occasionally, I play something else if I get tired of the game music, but usually it doesn't bother me.

I use winamp to play it, but i added the music from Civ2, TOT Imperialism, AOE, and others...
Btw i want to make a request, i lost my "Civ2 Scenarios" CD (an old expansion pack) and i don´t remember if it´s music was different from Civ2, if it is, can somebody please send me a big zip (with the music only) via ICQ or post it somewhere? Thanks.

I turned the music off when I first loaded the game. I've never understood what music had to do with any game I was playing.
I do have my own music selections playing on my stereo. But not as part of a game.

So, so true. Anyway, its that point of the game when I am most aggressive, so to me its inappropriate all the time.
What I like to do is get music out of other games (especially C&C, Red Alert, etc.) and use that. Now my modern armour rolling into a shelled city with the Red Alert Hell March in the background sure is something else.

I think the music for the industrial age is good. The piano piece sounds a lot like W.A.Mozart's K. 466. I just started listening to the music included with Civ III, so I haven't reached the modern Era music yet, but the others were good.
As for CDs to listen to: It's a no-brainer Peter Gabriel - Passion, after that Passion Sources, also the Black Hawk Down soundtrack.

Personally, I think the Industrial age music is boring, and the piano piece sounds a bit off. Ancient and medieval eras sound nice enough (particularly the Colonial America sort of tune in the middle-ages). But that's just my opinion.
As for modern era music, its actually quite nice. One of the pieces has a Spanish guitar and saxophone, and sounds kind of like a Kenny G piece. But niceness isn't one of my traits when I reach modern era. Since that is when the best technology is available, I tend to raise my aggression to something a lot higher than even Shaka. Kenny G isn't all that appropriate when you have modern armour rolling into a badly shelled city you just pummelled. But again, just my opinion.

).
For me a lot of bands reprsent the game I was playing while listening to the music, such as Linkin Park represents EU. 
So whenever I hear Linkin Park I typically think of EU.
.
I leave the original music on. But that rarely happens....
