Help me change the music!

[MrMulan]

I really like all the background music, but the one in the modern era is extremely grating. I feel it doesn't fit in the game. Is there a way to shut this one off, or replace it with something else?

All the music is in .mp3 format in the Sounds folder (\program files\infogrames interactive\civilization iii\sounds).

Just replace the .mp3's with something you like.

the background music is actually in a subfolder of the sounds folder called diplomusic.

I simply turn on my winamp player before I start a game (or alt-tab in the middle of the game) and then go to the audio options and turn off the music. If you're like me, and like to play the game with some heavy metal tunes, you might want to consider turning the volume on the winamp down by a few notches to hear the sounds of combat etc. in the game
