You can put your own music files into this folder. Then edit a music.tab to list
them and Simutrans will read and play them.

To download some midi files of your choice for free, you can look
for example to: http://www.findmidis.com/

After downloading the music you will need to edit music.tab file, otherwise the
files will not be loaded into the game. Music.tab can look like this:

#anything starting like this is a comment
#comments are useful
music_folder/music_file_name.mid
The name of my favourite song
music_folder/other_file.mid
The less favourite song


Music_folder will be most likely "music", but if you have some other places
with midi songs in your computer, the program should be able to read more
difficult paths. For example assume that you have Simutrans on the same disc as
your documents like:
d:\simutrans
d:\documents

Than you can link the Microsoft's (R) music file which is supplied with your
Windows (R) installation like this:
#
# Sample of music.tab linking files from other folders
# As you see, you can use UNIX style paths
#
../Dokumenty/My Music/PASSPORT.MID
Microsoft sample music file


#
# A smaple using windows like paths
#
c:/download/2003/01/twine.mid
The World Is Not Enough



And the file will play in Simutrans. This way you can link your library without
moving it! That is what we have a music.tab file for!
