You the select an album that you have saved on the hard drive and it plays instead of the ungame music. You can still hear all the sound effects though. I am sayign that I hope the wii does this it is a good feature...

Yeah, that'd be awesome! Perhaps most of you don't have a surround sound set-up (I'm not bragging) and thus you don't understand that you usually can only have one thing playing through them at once, so if you want to listen to some different music, you have to switch the sound channel and then you can only hear the music; the in-game sound effects and things can't be heard.
I've ripped a few CDs to my original Xbox and it's pretty cool because there are a few games, like NFS and GTA that allow you to play your own music in the game, yet you're still able to hear sound effects. The Xbox 360 does this every game, doesn't it?
If Nintendo doesn't include the feature, which I'm doubting they will in the beginning because they probably won't have large-capacity SD memory cards for a while and no one will want to buy them because the largest at 8GB are sometimes more expensive than external hard drives that have 10x as much space for the same price. They may take the same (annoying) aproach to this feature like they are with the DS web browser, which is only available in Japan.
After a few months of it's release, I'm guessing someone will have figured out a way to do it either by creating a new operating system for it, like some version of Linux, or possible through the Opera web browser.
This would be a great feature because some games just don't have the best music, yet everything else in the game is good, so it'd be nice to switch to music you already have and enjoy.
