Thanks for clearing that stuff up. I wasn't aware that gold would be shipping with mods, and I just plain FORGOT about the music tracks! DUH!! (I guess that's because I don't play with the music..)

How about a nifty X-Box-like feature that would play MP3's off my hard drive, instead of the game music.

The music doesn't actually get loaded on the hard drive. The game plays different tracks from the CD in different situations. Someone posted here once that they played the game once with a music CD in the drive (You don't have to have the SE4 CD in it) and it played that music. That's kind of what you are wanting no? Doesn't work for MP3's. but maybe you could burn a CD with your favorite MP-3's and use that while you play SE4.

Not only does the game play whatever music tracks are on the CD in the drive, but there's a section of Settings.txt where you can reprogram which tracks are played and when. I currently have mine set up to play Thus Spake Zarathustra (aka "Dawn" theme from the film _2001_) over the Intro screen.

The program runs into problems if the CD in the drive has fewer tracks than the highest track number you've put in Settings.

Since you are sending in the original CD for the rebate that is your proff of purchase so to speak. And fo such reasons (C&B) that is why we can't just go by order numbers.
