Thanks for the nice comments guys.
The data file is very large and is written to in-game. Encrypting it made loading and saving them take 10x as long, and I don't really mind people using the questions for personal use anyway.
The background music was licensed. I've hired musicians in the past, but now I tend to review huge quantities of buyout music to find the tunes I want.
IIRC, the music notes are an indicator of whether or not the music is playing. If you click on the speaker, it should ( if memory serves ) turn off both the notes and the music. There's no way to turn it off and keep the music on though.
I don't *think* I was too biased towards soaps, but if you do find the questions are biased in one direction or another, let me know because I can balance it out with any additional questions I write. I'd like to get another one to two thousand eventually, but I haven't started any of them yet.
