Never saw the use of and fun of this. I'll maybe try it with SMG because I remember SMG had some truly epic music.
There's no "use" nor fun, if you don't find which music genre you like.
I like classical and orchestrated music (I played violin for 5 years, and played 1 year on a philharmonic orchestra).
Having some video game music re-orchastrated is for me the "fun" you talk about. listening to music, being video game or not, is the same it's musical enjoyment that you have to find.
it just happen that I don't like "real" classical (mozart, bethov, etc.) but I prefer musical compositions from the current era, and video games and movies fit it best.
If you don't like that genre, it's normal you don't like video game's music too. everyone his own taste
For example, I like "
Orchestral Game Concert" which are 5 CD of re-orchestrated game music played from the tokyo philharmonic.
I like watching it being played in the orchestra too, like this set of music from Final Fantasy :
Tour de Japon (the title is in Fraponais ! like engrish but with bad french from japanese people lol).
Though, youtube is a little de-synch from video/audio, it's detectable with the conductor's order.
