Music suggestions for your RetroPie menu Music

Tim

I just started looking into music and found this thread. FANTASTIC ideas in here and a pile of songs I had completely forgotten about. I have one to add that doesn't really fall into the RetroPie category but it's just too awesome not to mention and I think it's a great fit for most systems.

This is an all time classic. If i was using it i would use the actual song.

Here is my Playlist of Game Remixes.
I used it for Emulationstation on my Raspberry pi.

These are great. How do I rip the sound from a YouTube vid?

@tim JDownloader! Copy a youtube Url and it will be automaticly insert in JDownloader. You can Choose Resolutions, too. Or Only the Audio.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf - K.K. Slider's Entire Repertoire (Aircheck Versions)

I haven't played an Animal Crossing since Wild World, but I love this music for my BGM. 91 tracks total.

For those who like Synthwave, I have created a playlist that works great for Background music (at least to my taste).
No voice, just some of the best soft music inspired from the 80's (Mitch murder, Morgan Willis, The Midnight...)
Hope this can be useful for some of you!

I am still looking for that perfect menu music track. I want something in the vein of the SNES Mini Classic menu music, but not literally that one.

I have tried some Recalbox menu themes, some stuff from Wii Shop, Mii Channel, Wii Play Motion (Nintendo has these jingles down), but none of them sound to my liking or they just get annoying after a while.

I want something that can be background noise when idling in Emulationstation, ideally in a perfect loop, but that turns out to be much harder to find than I had thought.

Oh, the struggle with perfect background music... I can do anything with my RetroPie setup but I'm never completely happy with any background music playlist. After some time I'm like "oh not that (otherwise awesome) tune again!"

Every time I power on the arcade cabinet it plays a random track from about eight (while in EmulationStation).
