I think you are fine.
It's a fine line to walk, not too dramatic to distract, not too plain to
boring and the like. But they set the scene fairly quickly, and as you
say - don't annoy ;-)

Question: Yes you understood the question.
Do you have a suggested play order or rules for playing. Otherwise I'll
add them with rules something like:
1. tracks = [list of tracks in a particular directory]
2. Pick a track
3. Play it
4. Pick another track, make sure it isn't the same one
5. Goto step 3.
Feel free to add more tracks and more endings ;-)

I always remember playing one of the civ games and it put a 5 second
pause between each track, and I was always keenly aware of that silence
- it was what started me turning of the music.
I'll probably play with it, and see how it goes. I'll also see how they
cross-fade.

Sure, nash on freenode (where #tp is) or otherworlders.

Galaxie is my thousand parsec client using the EFL. It is currently
licenced under GPL.
No webpage specifically at the moment - although my wife is threatening
to redo my other website, so I'll may get her to do it as well.

Oggs would be preferable. Saves the whole "to play this music you must
violate a patent" issue.

Mostly fine by me. Attribution clauses is fine, Share-Alike is cool.
However... NC can hit all sorts of problems. A NC file can't be
distributed in most Linux distros for instance. So in that case we'd
have to ship them separately and draw a line around them.
Of course the flip site is also possible:
