Is there a way to add in the music from EU1 to have it play in EU2? I own both games, and I love the music in both. Thanks.

you need to find the music files and convert them in MP3 first.
then add their titles to the .txt file in the music folder.

I see a bunch of .txt files. What do I add to which files, and does it matter what order they go in?
Thanks for your reply!

there is one file for each century and one called frontend.txt, this one if for the music that plays while eu2 is loading.
you put the names in all of them is you want to hear them all game long

Actually, I was able to convert the files to MP3, and I listed them in the EU2 music file .txt files as you said, but so far I haven't heard any in the game. Is it supposed to play through the songs in the order they are in the .txt files?
Are there any certain bitrates the files must have or characters in the filenames not allowed?

After playing for a longer peroid of time, I did eventually hear the EU1 songs. But is there a way you can specify the order they play in? For example, in the frontend.txt file, I had put one of the EU1 songs first, but I don't hear it when I start the game.
Thanks for your help!

frontend.txt is a mystery to me, I have never been able to get my songs to play like I want them
If you want only one song, delete the others and it will play that one only; I think it always plays the song in the 2nd or 3rd position but I never really got it to work.
as for the others, the numbers represent the centuries, a file in 14.txt will play in the 1400, 15 in the 1500, etc.
In each text file, I think the music player will start from top to bottom but it could very well be random. If you want to hear mostly the EU1 music, delete a few files from the list, it will play less EU2 and more EU1; the reason it plays them late is because there are a lot of songs now in your list, so it plays all the songs and then start again so it takes a while.

another way, if your sound card supports it, is to load Winamp before lauching the game and adding all the music files to your list (or create a new one with EU music only); then put them in the order you want and have the software play them in order.
