You must convert the music in .ogg

Ya, and make sure the file names are exactly the same.
I have Super Smash Bros Melee music for my one minute left song, alongside a Tom Waits song. I also have They're Red Hot done by the RHCP as my flag music. Pretty great.

The file format and file name MUST be same as that of the original music file.

.ogg and .wav are working. file name must ofc be the same and if the length of the sounds fits too it would be even better!

Yes, length is pretty good to have (I found them to be around 1 minute long, and 1:30 minutes long)

The file extension doesn't matter as long as it's ogg or wav. This is because the CubeScript command that calls them up only uses the first part of the name, and lets the game determine whether it's ogg or wav.
Feel free to peruse the music included in my
Assault Your Ears mod.

I like to use audacity because it's a good freeware app for mac users. I have a sped up version of 7 nation army as my flag song.
Oh wait I don't play with sound, even hough i have made soundmods. Talk about a double standard... -__-
WHALE.

I have a menu setup to list all the songs Ina directory that have a .ogg extension. I should upload it sometime. Also, a very handy tool for converting to ogg is format factory

Again I feel I should point out to those of you that keep replacing vanilla-content-files with their own version that they're doing it wrong.
You have a game-home for your personal modifications, pass something via '--home=' to your AssaultCube binary and that directory's contents will override the vanilla-files.
So .. want a new menu - just put in config/menus.cfg into your game-home and restart AC .. got sick of it? Remove it from the game-home or just start using a different one - the vanilla-file is still there and everything will be working!
When you want to change media-files, the same applies - you can simply put in your own file (same filename) or you could actually also copy config/sounds.cfg, edit the lines where it loads the music and change the filename looked for there.
