Is there any way I can add my own music?

Those .smp files appear to be the sound effects to units on the battlefield.

Yeah. I can't even convert them anyway. I looked around a bit but can't find the file with Cantiga de Santa Maria. Sorry.

I'm suprised the sox manual didn't mention that.

Look for the largest files in the rawsounds directory and you shall find em.

Falso 6 - Santa Maria has a voice track. This time Targa SLOWED it down. The voice comes in after a while. It sounds like some zombie moaning a song or something. It's just as funny as the chipmunk voice.

Does anyone know how to get this file to sound the way it should? Or have a correctly-converted Version that is playable on WinAmp?

I didn't do it, sox did.

Ya, Arryn, I think I got it figured. Make a text file and put in it:

sox -c 2.0 falso6.sw falso6.wav

Rename the .txt extension to .bat and double-click it (keep the text file open in notepad or whatever). Play the resulting falso6.wav. Sounds too fast? Lower the -c #.

1.0 is the default, which, as Argithoth pointed out, makes it too slow. So somewhere in there you should find the correct value. ( -c sets "speed").

2.9 is still too slow, and any use of numbers 3.0 or higher creates a corrupt file that WinAmp cannot read. My guess is that I need a number in the range of 3.5-4.0. Grrr.
