Even if i am tired of it, usually mappers chose tracks which fit the map in the way they intend it to play, so i chose to not add any new to play the map as it was intended first to see it how it really is. That and the maps which have sounds as an intended part of the gameplay, and external music would ruin them completely without no possiblity of realizing it which makes it worse.
Only when i have played the map before i sometimes put other music with it, so i will check what some of you have linked here.

If you're tired of the original soundtrack for whatever reason, Death Cube K released several drone/ambient albums that fit Quake quite well, particularly "Disembodied":

I used to listen to this when I first discovered Quake 1 back in the early 2000s and still do. Great mix between gothic metal and ambient neoclassical. Very fitting.

That is an awesome music. Are you the actual author?
Yes it's my own work. Thanks for checking it out, glad you like it.

The original Quake soundtrack is awesome. I often set it as background music when doing something.

By coincidence, The fat of the Land by the Prodigy. I still associate that album with Q1 and Vice versa.

I play with original soundtrack. Thank god these best probiotics are still available and the cd is no longer needed in the drive when playing with new Quake ports like darkplaces.
I do prefer the original soundtrack the most by far, but I also do mix it up from time to time. I like to go with some good old epic battle music occasionally.

For me, the original soundtrack is a big part of the quake experience. It's embedded in the textures

I usually stick with the original soundtrack unless the map has custom music, at which point I go with that instead. On rare occasion I'll put Lustmord on in the background instead.
Lustmord! Perfect Quake mapping music for me too.

Been playing with the official Quake 64 soundtrack quite a bit lately. It's really growing on me.
Ditto for this. I don't have any real attachment to the official NIN soundtrack, but Quake 64's is really good. I used to play with a rip of it, but unfortunately, I lost those files a while ago. I like that it's more noisy and percussive than the official one. When I play hipnotic, I use its soundtrack instead.
For unofficial music, before I used a source port, I used to play with Alice in Chains' Dirt in the drive. If you own a copy, I highly recommend it, it syncs up scarily well to the levels.

I play a lot of dark ambient when I map but usually play without music. Cryo Chamber is a great label for dark ambient music. Highly recommended. http://www.cryochamberlabel.com/
