Two or more music themes playing...

Anyone else experiencing a higher incidence of music themes not shutting off on zoning and continuing to play in the new zone resulting in both themes playing at the same time? Sometimes it will clear itself by logging to character select, more often you have to log to desktop. It seems to be more likely to occur around The Commonlands with me.

I noticed this occurring more frequently recently, though I always remember it happening on occasion, especially with the main EQ2 theme after zoning into a new area. For some reason it seems to be the worst in Fallen Gate, where I regularly have to log out because of the battle theme running constantly, even if I turn the music off! It's gotten to the point where I don't have combat music enabled, and I disabled the "force looped music" option, so a great deal of my gaming is done in silence. It's a shame, as the music in EQ2 is actually fairly good (and I don't want to waste CPU cycles and RAM on an background MP3 player).
