I agree with you man, lazy dms really should quit the hobby

What's wrong with that?

The problem with playing music during combat is that combat is slow as fuck. If you've got some fast paced action-packed music blazing in your ears while everyone is sitting idly waiting for their turn it can get repetitive and awkward. Especially if it's just playing from their phone instead of through some speakers around the room. Even worse if the music they chose some trash remix or a song with lyrics.

Maybe combat is slow for you because you play with a slow group

I once gave an NPC theme music that I would play whenever he landed a hit during his cage match with another player. It only showed up once per round, so it didn't get tiresome.

I once had music play during a big fight against a group of bards. A group of bards that supplied said music and used a lot of sonic spells.

The party had to wade through a mosh pit, fighting off crazed fans as they went.

Except the party's bard, who got it in his head that it was a solo fight for him, so he ran ahead and got his ass handed to him by the drummer.

Just playing music from your phone is trashy as hell.
At least play it from your laptop speakers, damn.

But the sound from my phone is better than the sound from my laptop.
