Playing without the CD?

Sure it is. Just because you do not like the music does not mean others do not like it.

That's not a true statement. In fact, I was one of the early champions of the Space Empires music. I did however, make a generalization based on most people's opinion about the music when I said it wasn't worth the effort.

Well, I don't have an opinion on the music, really. Consider me "Lawful Neutral" in that respect; doesn't matter weather or not I like the music, it's part of the game.

Why am I sad? Because I didn't want to have to use up 640 MB space / memory just for a few MB of sound tracks. I was hoping there was a way to maybe mp3 them, throw them into a directory with the game. No such luck, though.

I already have Deamon Tools running. I use it already for other purposes.

Sure. Create a new virtual CD with just the music tracks (you need a blank track 1, as mixed data/audio CDs have the data as "track 1). It will be a lot smaller than the whole game CD, but certainly not a few MBs.

[Litcube]

Hm. Interesting idea. I'll try that.

Thank you.

Remember that SE4 will use any audio CD in the drive as a music source. You can control which tracks are used for normal game tracks, which are combat, etc. in Settings.txt.

Indeed. My soundtrack for SEIV is a CD I made of music I "borrowed" from Freelancer.
