SH3 was also my introduction to German swing/schlager/jazz/filmmusik/other popular music of the period, though I was already pretty big into American swing. It's impossible to pick just one favorite. Thanks to archive.org, Fregal Music, and of course youtube, I've amassed almost 100 hours of music to listen to while playing and streaming SH3/4, it's been a blast.
I strongly encourage anyone who wants a little more from the in-game Grammophon to just give up on the thing. It's more trouble than it's worth and it's too limiting. Instead, get a keyboard that has the ◁ ▶▐▐ ▷ controls on, boot up VLC, put your music into a playlist, and enjoy using that instead. You may have to manually program your hotkeys for VLC to work properly, and you may have to run it as admin, but it's pretty foolproof otherwise.
