I think music in CoH isn't living up to its potential. You drop the boombox and you get a goodly number of musical genres to choose from. The music is in what's called MIDI form (it's all electronically produced), which isn't particularly jam-worthy in a long term sense, and only plays when you're standing around to drop the box. With the hero "radio" looming on the horizon, it would be nice if we could tune in assorted "radio stations" as well as the police band. That way we could have music to fight by. Further, it'd be nice if you could flick a switch in your options window to substitute your own MP3 library on your computer for the chirpy MIDI tunes. No one else would hear the MP3s but you, of course, but it'd sound groovier than the CoH tunes. As a tweak, I'd also suggest the zone music be disabled when the radio's playing.

I'd like to take this suggestion one step further. There's a very old bit of IRC (internet chat) programming that I'd think would be fairly easy to impliment in CoH. It allows you to activate MP3 files on your computer through a command sent to the chat window. The further groovy bit is that if the people you're chatting with have the same MP3 file in their computer library, the command activates it for them as well. ...As close to shared music as you can get on the internet without everyone going to Live365 at the same time.
