For me, soundtracks are all about what I am listening to when I'm writing, what songs/artists seem to reflect the characters and the moods I need to be in to write. I tend to go to either songs or quotes from books (usually Buddhist ones) as epigraphs, inspiration, for titles, and also to listen to when I'm writing. I have different mixes on my iPod for different stories. Right now I'm all about the Hip and the Decemberists for this Southland-Homicide fusion, especially the Hip's lastest album, which I have going in my car cd player.
I've only ever tried to post an actual soundtrack for a story once, and I don't think I actually uploaded the songs right, so I'm not sure anyone even got it--but I couldn't have written that story without those songs.
