I dont know about any of you but I find the lack of any type of "musci" during my travels, waiting at my starport for the shuttle, and crafting gets prety darn borning.
I'm betting sombody has stated this ideal before, if so the first person who posted it was brillant 
Anyways.
As a palyer (not a musician) I would love to see a portable device with a track or two of music on it.
Allow muscians to craft "cd's" in which they can put in a "recording" box and have a band star playing or doing a solo.
The cd's could take like 40 metal, 40 chemical and like 40 ore. to make
Recording boxes may take a few artisan componets like a EB memory module, conrol unit, micro processor and 250 metal.
Juke boxes 500 metal, 8 EB Memory modules.
Only craftable my master muscians or in there instrumant line.
Once the band is all situated, the lead band plaery types. /startmusicrecording.
Then for say 1 min, the musical box records all instrumants and flurishes in code. (not like recording it to a mp3 but like. It will save what instrumants are being used. And when there are flurishes being used.
So like
Sith Horn./pause 10 /flurish 1 /pause 20...
Ommon box /pause 5 /flurish 8 /pause 10 /bandflurish 4....
Say for a max of 10 instrumants and 20 flursihs per insstrumant. (so if you have 5 people playing you get 100 flurishes.)
Anyways, I wouldnt think this would put much "stress" on the server as this stuff has to be easy to store, its just like createing a macro and savinging it to a game object.
Now once finsished with the recording the bandleader types /stopmusicrecording
the band leader takes it out of the recording box.
I dont know what they could do after that. BUT what there coudl be are several options. 1 option is the muscian can right click it and select (create scheamtic) which will create a factor schematic that uses the same resouces to build it.
Then they can do factory runs of the music.
OR the cd can be used as a component for say a juke box. I dono.
OR you can just use the cd and listen to it (well you shoudl be able to do this anyways)
NOW the muscian can market off all there cd's and sound tracks. To the masses
The cd's and juke boxes can have 2 functions. 1 as a "ambient" sound for houses, you just place it in your house and you selecte the song for it to play and it will paly it in your house.
TWO
You can make it so it is a temporary healing module to heal bf and mind wounds that would have like a battery power simular to droids.
(However I think having BOTH would be nice)
Make it so that they can only be used in houses for the wound healing.
The OTHER one can be made into a portable walkman or somthing. SO That people can listen to it on the long hall to a POI or event. Waiting for a shuttleport or what not.
What do you guys think?

I compleatly agree with you EvilHairy
How about a mp3 player built into the game that you can access from in game or have a master musician build a boom box that plays mp3s. At least make it so that we can operate the mp3 players we already have. That way you could sit at the starport or camp or house or just going from place to place and hit the slot for the mp3 player and play a mp3. You could put in you own music from your personalmp3 collection and have access to all your music. Maybe a command like /mp3 BritneySpearsToxic (don't get upset it was the first song I thought of) or what ever song you want to listen to. There could even be a random setting so that songs would play randomly or even a listed order.
Just something I thought I would like..
