Music packaged as Add-Ons/.zip
Christopher P.:
Music packaged as normal Add-Ons 'n stuff.
Explanation
Let's use this as an example:
Music_Default
Music_Default would include all the default music, and would be downloaded with the game.
Files:
Music_Default.zip
|-music
|-After_School_Special.ogg
|-Ambient_Deep.ogg
|-etc...
|-description.txt
|-server.cs
All of the music would be included in a "music" file in the .zip. Server.cs would do NOTHING, nothing at all, just like prints. Description.txt is just the same as with other Add-Ons.
But... Why?
3 Reasons:
1. Don't need to do that little bit of effort by saving in music file, just save in the add-ons folder.
2. So RTB won't need to do that hacky thing it did in version 2 to download music.
3. No need to download lots of music or extract a .zip or .rar file, as you can just place a lage music pack directly in the add-ons folder.

Wouldn't it be more effort to package it as an addon?
You have a music folder you can save the file in already.
What we have now works better than this.

I meant it would be easier for the downloader.

Just open the zip file and drag the music into the music folder.
It takes like, 5 or less seconds. :/
It won't ever be done anyways.

What makes you think so?
Shadows are being done, i think this could be done in about 1/16 the time to make brick shadows if Badspot worked on it a few minutes a day.
