Music is an integral part of a video game experience, and many of Sega's musical works have been given widespread critical acclaim over the years. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to make money, Sega have been releasing albums containing music from their video games since the late 1980s. Few video game albums ever leave Japan - when they do, they're often given away as pre-order or special edition bonuses, and soon become valuable collectors items.

Sega have worked in conjunction with a number of publishing labels, including their own, Wave Master. Their sound employees have also formed groups in the past, namely S.S.T. Band and B-univ, and have gone on to release albums of their own.
