that doesnt help
I know but in short that is the answer.The music stays on the cd.It is not installed to your machine.So,you need to get hold of one of the cds.
btw-the music changed from 2.42>MGE.There are different tracks depending on which version cd you have.
2.42 is available and dirt cheap.

As I wrote above, the music are AUDIO tracks on the CD, NOT any files. 
Audio tracks have to be "ripped" of the CD to get them as WAV files on your HD, use any CD Burning program, like Nero, or any of the many shareware CD ripper programs. Some ripper programs also convert the tracks to MP3, thus saving lot´s of space.

The music files are in a folder called "build". This folder has three
subfolders: "ancient", "middleages", and "indmodern". That is
why the music changes when you move to different ages.
The music files are actually mp3s not wav., you can play them
separately with windows media player or winamp, but, sot far, I
haven't been able to add to them and have the program pick that
up and play them.
if you are tired of the same music, you can go to "audio-
preferences" in the program: turn off the music; come pack to
the program; hit "alt+tab", and start your own music via WinAmp
or Windows Media Player. You still get the sound effects from
the Civ program. OK?

I have a version 1.00 CD, but when I select "play music", it does nothing.
Am I to assume by this that there is no music in that version, or is it just my bloody computer mucking up again?

Well it seems to be your audio settings. I have the 1.0 disk with
the 1.21f patch, and I have had music from the very first. The
music files intstall to your hard drive; they don't play from the
CD regardless of what someone said earlier.
Go to the directory where you have the game installed. This
might be C:\Program Files\Infogames interactive\Civilization-III.
Click or double click on Civilization-III. Click on the "Sounds"
directory;you should then see "build"; click on that; you should
then see the three music files; open the "middleages" sub-
directory; you should see the mp3 files starting with:MidECFull.
Click on that file and Windows Media Player should come up
and start playing it. If it does not do so, go to Microsoft Updates,
and download Windows Media Player for free and install it.
Hope that helps.

sorry,this is Civ2.Music is on the cd.Thats where it stays unless you have the MAC version and have done a full install.
Place your civ2 cd in the cdrom.If auotrun appears click exit.Now use your music utility to play a normal cd.You should see tracks 1>10.
There are some civ2 cds out there that have no music.

Then use ResEdit 2.13b (on mac) or reshacker (on PC) to edit resources files and rip out the music files you're looking for...

LOL, the CD data is stored in a mixed format, which is what might be confusing. Any rip program (Nero, CDRWin, Feurio, Audiograbber, even the despicable Adaptec EZ CD Creator) can extract (rip) the audio tracks, if you have even a semi-modern CDROM. Nero is the best.
You can rip any track (.AU) to a .WAV file, or even directly to an MP3. Once done, WinAmp or any one of a myriad of programs can play back the result.
But you are not going to be able to use the "stock" MS Explorer to view a mixed-mode (Program data followed by audio data) CD. You need programs like I listed earlier, or a 3rd party Explorer add on (risky, due to poor drivers in general).
PS, anyone who would like to screw up their OS, please rush out and install Adaptec EZ CD Creator (AKA Roxio). Once installed, it will never, ever fully uninstall itself, and it loads conflicting drivers from the \SYSTEM directory every single time your MS OS boots... Use Nero, Feurio, or CDRWin. (none of those dump drivers into your system!).
