Often one of the first things I do when playing a new game is to increase the music volume. I consider the music to be an integral part of the experience; on par with the graphics, I'd say. It would have to be really bad before I'd consider turning it off.
It occurs to me that in all my favorite games, I enjoyed the music a lot. That's probably saying something. Unfortunately, outstanding music seems to be a rare treat, in games as well as in cinema and tv series.
