Probably not. If I'm not mistaken, at least some of the music that shipped originally with the game was acquired from a source that licenses music to anyone willing to pay for royalties. I've heard the theme music in a commercial before, and now and then, I catch it on shows like TMZ during segments, likely licensing it from the same source.
I don't know how much of the City of Heroes music is/was composed exclusively for the game. Maybe they should consider getting some new original music to replace the older music.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

The CoH theme was composed by Kevin Manthei, if I remember right. A lot of the stuff he uses is royalty-free loops, so chances are he slapped together a bunch of stuff that's readily available to anyone with an internet connection.

I'm pretty sure that the music in Cimerora was made just for the game too.

I know it isn't exactly "original", but if they do try to make/add new music I know who they need to go to.

I recall one day, my wife was flipping through the channels, and landed on TMZ. I was in the kitchen, but I swore I heard music from Blyde Square playing

Thank you, Champion.

Holy crap, those are awesome! Is there a way to make my game play those songs instead? |

Every now and again you'll hear music from the game on TV shows on the Discovery channel or the History channel. Themes that ship with Macs are popular, too.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
There is one particular area in Atlas Park that has music that sounds EXACTLY like music from one of the Sims games. Seeing this, it could actually be the same music, before, I just thought it was coincidence or my imagination.

So I know there is a guide to silence specific power sound effects somewhere out there. Is there a way to make these songs play instead of the original?

I don't think so. Best I could suggest is turn the music volume all the way down, open iTunes (or whatever music player you have), set it to repeat all, and have fun.|

That's what I did while playing STO. Just downloaded a bunch of Star Trek songs to iTunes, shut the in-game music off, and then just played the ST music.

When it was announced that they brought on Jason Graves (Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Graves) to do the score for Going Rogue, I was so incredibly delighted. I really, really, really wish that CoH and CoV, but mostly CoH would get some new music.

I was just now playing a mod for the Half Life 2 episode 1 engine, and sure enough in a "tv broadcast" in the game, the Hero side fanfare was the music for it.
Shame the mod stinks, but hey. Recognized the music so it most certainly is merely licensed.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Yes... there is. Essentially the silencing of sounds is replacing those sounds (just like icons are replaced in packs by Vanden or Corva) with a short track of silence. Soooo, one could simply name a file the right thing, place it in the right directory (assuring it is the right file-type) and it would replace that sound. Though it may be important to make sure that the length of the track matches up, though that may not matter, I am unsure.|

However, to find the right files and right directories would require a LOT of messing in the PIGGs and a LOT of trial and error I should think.
I would like Chris Vrenna and Tracy W Bush to do some music for CoX.... they did some *stunning* music for Tabula Rasa

Probly been posted before But I was watching "The Movie Hero" on Netflix and in the opening scenes I was hearoing the theme and was confused how did i start the game? turns out its in the movie.
Was Stephane Thomas Cavit (the composer in the movie) or Brad T. Gottfred (the director) friends with the early cryptic studios?
