Quote: Hi there,
Yes - I am a big fan of H songs. This is what got me interested in games in early 90's (that wonderful barbarian town harpsycord track... Oh God...).
But here is what is biting me currently: I downloaded a great song I knew from a Neverwinter Nights mod (Aielund Saga), called 'spellbound'. Even though it says 'mp3', when i rename it to DIRT, it is not being played! I even used some music-converting software to turn it into mp3, in case it werent... Nothing! I tested this against another Aielund song (their main theme) and renaming this mp3 to DIRT makes it playable.
Can anyone help me? I can send the song (1,5 Mb)... That would help me a lot.
And since we're on this issue, here's something else I'd love to have in H3 playable mp3:
- H1 barbarian town track;
- Necromancer city track, but this one (I think from PoL):

if anyone can help me, here's my email:

Hi pdesbois.
I may have something to help you out with. First, you can download the H1 Barbarian theme (and other H1 music) here. If you're looking for the original version of the Necromancer Theme from H2, you can download it here. However, if you're looking for the PoL expansion version, I can't find it. Believe me, I've tried for years to no avail. However, you can just convert your Youtube video to an mp3 file via Youtube downloader/converter. The audio quality obviously would be far from perfect and you have to turn the volume on your player waaaaay up, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. Let's just hope some fateful day, some nice guy would finally see the effort we fans put into searching those seemingly non-existent themes all over the net, and post those great PoL alternative town themes up for grabs. But for now, I guess this would have to do.
Try checking if the Spellbound file is really an mp3 file (in most cases wma and other file types won't work), confirm the file type on its properties (right click, etc.) and then have the file renamed to DIRT (all caps) then transferred to the Game's Mp3 Folder, there's no reason for it not to work after that.

thats helpful indeed - thx, Lure_of_Lilith!
I did d/l the barbarian song, and am d/l the extractor from youtube.
The spellbound song shows indeed as an .mp3 file in properties, yet t he necro terrain is void of music (just the sounds from skellies dwellings etc...). I placed other 2 songs as DIRT (incl. the Barbarian song from ur link) and they work 100%.
?
I really am surprised at these techie things, have no idea why all, except the one i wanted, play.

I always preferred techno, it really gets me into a zone state where I can just chill.

Glorious solution by I
Well, go figure why, but this is how me got it to work: the only thing I hadn't yet done was converting this mp3 file into a wma file and then reconverting it to mp3.
turns out the process doubled the size - in other words, although on properties it was showing 'mp3' to start with, I think it wasn't. Now it is working fine, and problem solved
p
EDIT: btw, if any other H2 music fans out there are scratching their heads about THAT awesome Necromancer song not available in mp3... I got it ... Similar process as above...

No problem.
No problem, glad to hear it already works for you.
Did the quality of the theme got tampered with on the the process of conversion? You said the file-size doubled.

No - the quality did not change at all! I dont know exactly what the doubling means, maybe it was a .mp2 that showed on properties as .mp3.... for me it was a blessing.

Ah, I see. Well, enjoy your newfound Necro theme.

Final Fantasy music often fits well in some scenarios... but for some reason some of my music slows down tremendously when I replace them in the MP3 folder. Not sure why...?

Heroes of Might Magic OST is so good nobody should be listening to other musics while playing.
Heroes 2 OST especially, just simply epic. Best one for the best HOMM

I don't really listen to other music while I'm playing video games to be honest, I just listen to their music.
As far as the music in Heroes 3 goes, I absolutely love the Necropolis theme, Stronghold theme, and Inferno theme. Don't know why they just sound really old and classic.
