I've got a few civil war songs on my computer and I'd like to add them to the 3 or so songs played as bg music, is there anyway to do this?

Yes, as long as they're in the right format there's a sound config file where you can add them in. I'll see if I can put together some instructions for that to post in the Mods sub-forum.

Lemme see if I figured it out [:D]

In cwSoundFXConfig at the bottom

Add line(s) for music to be played for both sides
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,FILENAME1.wav,100)

Add line(s) for music to played for CSA side only
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Confed,FILENAME2.wav,100)

Add line(s) for music to be played for USA side only
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Union,FILENAME3.wav,100)

Then just make sure to have those FILENAMEx.wav files in the sound folder. 

Yep, that's it, it's the section at the bottom that currently consists of:

Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,intro.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,music03.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,music01.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,music02.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,Us_Theme.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Generic,intro_theme_nodrum_forloop.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Confed,Dixie_Battleground.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Confed,For_Bales_Battleground.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Union,Battle_Hymn_Battleground.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Union,Battle_Hymn_AF.wav,100)
Music($Music,$Ambience,$Union,For_Bales_Battleground.wav,100)

Worked perfectly, many thanks [&o]

I just turn off the music in most ACW games and toss in one of many appropriate CD's from my collection! The right music can really add a lot to any gaming session.
