Music playbackQuakeSpasm supports ogg, mp3 and wav external music files to be playedinstead of cd music. What you should do is simple:1.
Use your favorite cd-ripper application and rip your quake cdromaudio tracks, convert them to ogg or mp3 so they occupy less space,like track02.ogg, track03.ogg, etc.Note #1: There is no such thing as track01: the first tracks oforiginal Quake and the mission pack cdroms are always datatracks.Note #2: Since the Quake cdrom audio tracks are pre-emphasized, youshould de-emphasize them during or after ripping to makethem sound right.
