Oh, no fears here. I was just trying to point out that we technically already have an option to listen to any of our favorite tracks from the game while we play; not necessarily that it precludes what the OP is asking for, just that the option is certainly there. Albeit, if so much as one person who would buy the soundtrack to listen to while playing FFXIV decided not to because they had full control of the music in-game, that would technically be a compromised sale.
