     @cwebber That reminds me of the Doom CD that was partially a data CD with the game on it and mostly (by physical space) a music CD with Nine Inch Nails tracks on it that the game would play tracks from. But you could also just pop it into a normal audio CD player.

     @haselbach you're thinking of the Quake CD and yes, I listen to that music still to this day and one of my favorite podcast episodes is a deconstruction of its influence on contemporary culture https://www.nightclerkradio.com/episodes/the-quake-soundtrack

     @cwebber @haselbach one funny thing: growing up in Argentina I always played pirated Quake only, and it was the floppy version (!) with no music whatsover. So even though I like NIN and I'm aware of the fact that the soundtrack is by them, I think I've never actually listened to it!

     Maybe today is the day?

     @cwebber Heh makes me wonder what's the oldest game soundtrack you listened to that way.

     @lanodan I listened to a lot of c64 stuff, which is probably the oldest stuff for me: the intro to Boulderdash, Commando's soundtrack, Monty on the Run, lots of demo/intro SID tracks, etc :)
