It would be great if you didn’t start adding cheap music DLCs — which not everyone wants — into the season passes. Please create separate music packs for music DLCs, but don’t mix them with actual game content in the season pass. It might sound like easy money, but we’re not stupid.

The Music pack is separate; the expansion pass is just a bundle, not the only way to get the upcoming DLC; each DLC is going to be released separately (except the trade ship models).

It's about the season pass and you are forced to buy the music pack, if you want the extra dlc and season pass.
It's better to make music dlc's separate, like europa universalis music pack ocllections
 
Again, unless you specifically want the graphics-only trade ship DLC, there's nothing requiring you to get the Expansion Pass 2 in order to get the upcoming DLC, which will each be available for purchase separately. The Expansion Pass gives a discount (20%), but not more than waiting for a sale.

Bro, It’s about Season Pass 2, and if you want to buy it, for example, to save 20% or get the bonus DLC, you’re forced to buy the music DLC because it’s mixed into the season pass. It's better to separate them out of the season pass. It’s actually quite easy to understand...
 
Ok, I get it. You want the expansion pass but not the music DLC.

By my estimate, the music DLC is likely to be between US$5 and US$10, which is ~11% to ~22% of the total DLC cost individually (US$45). So, you can get the expansion pass with the music DLC and trade ships bonus, or buy the rest of the DLC at the same cost or slightly more on release, or wait for a sale and get the rest of the DLC at lower cost.

While I appreciate you're not happy with the composition of the bundle, it doesn't have much impact besides deciding to pay a bit more now (an extra US$3 to US$7) or when the DLCs each release (up to US$5), or waiting for a sale later. Or the worst part, the FOMO of not getting a minor graphical DLC.
