Nah - I personally like the music.
Want to change it? mute it and listen to your own?

The problem, as has been pointed out before in other threads on the topic, is that some of us only want to do away with the battle theme, not the rest of the music. It's like telling people who wanted to get rid of the chocobo music to just mute the game and listen to something else. See how they (we) got the option to not play mount music? It's basically the same request, but for combat music.
Combat music is absolutely garbage; it really hurts my ears so I had to mute it. Square Enix needs to implement an e-radio in-game like most modern MMOrpgs will do.
I only put on the bgm slider to the fullest when doing primals, cause I love those fights with the music

But I did Hullbreaker isle yesterday, and the BGM played whilst in combat, with the exception of the boss battles. This is the case for other level 50 dungeons too.
I can listen to Calamity Unbound all day lol
It's the regular combat music that grinds my gears.
When it pops up, my thoughts are:
"Crap. I hope I don't get slowed on my mount."
"Crap. I can't teleport until I run away far enough to disengage."
"Dammit, something insignificant and weak is pestering me."
"Ugh, spiritbonding is soooo boring."
I wish I could disable combat music so much. Sometimes I enter a dungeon with a great soundtrack that I don't want it to stop, you get into a fight and it's the same crap until the end.
Battle music is great, every ff game has amazing tracks, but c'mon, if there's a theme of an instance there, why not give us the option to either listen to that or battle music?
I would love this. Most the time I roll with the music off. I find the buttrock that comes with many boss fights to be a distraction. If we had the option to listen to the lovely ambient music that exists in the rest of the dungeon, I'd probably be more inclined to keep the music on.

1.0 battle tracks were so SO much more complex in melodIES than this ONE plinkyplonky track that is for every fight on the field.
FIX it fix it now.
Also on the topic of Soken he has a bad habit of making extremely short loops.
They get old very fast because during one fight you might end up hearing the same loop over four times and it's terrible.
