Adding new music to Morrowind might be the easiest way to mod the game. The hard part is finding the right
music for it.
To add music all you need is a .mp3 file. Files at 64, 128, 192, and 256 kbps sampling rates work the best.
Your music folders are located in your Data Files/Music folder, and are labeled "Explore" and "Battle".
Battle music plays when something is attacking you, and Explore plays the rest of the time. Just put your .mp3
files in one or both of these folders, and you're good to go.
But, Marb, what's some good music to put in there?
Ah, good question, glad you asked. Personally I enjoy instrumentals while playing. Soundtracks are a good
source of these. You know you're having a good time when the theme to Dawn of the Dead is playing
while you're slaughtering nasties. The best, though, is the nice choice of Player Made music we have at our disposal.
Player made music? People make music for this game? Where can I get it?
They sure do (or at least release their own music as suggestions), and it's all mostly pretty damned good, too.

Jeremy SouleSoule has remastered his original Morrowind music. You'll need to pay to download it, but with a total of 19 songs (wasn't there only 7 in the game?) how can you lose?
Also, if you have Oblivion, throw the music from that into your Morrowind folders too. Personally, I like his Oblivion soundtrack much better than Morrowinds.

Some great stuff. (click on "archive du pack" to download it). It's meant to accompany a French mod, but you
don't need the mod to listen to the music - and there's no compatibility problems between versions for music.

Included in this mod are some really great music tracks. Even if you don't want to play the actual mod, you
should do yourself a favor and download it just for the music. The mp3 files are located in the
Music/wwMcAsmod Folder, so you'll need to put them into the Explore and Battle folders yourself.

Know of any other music 'mods'? Feel free to speak up. I can't promise instant updates to this list, though. I'm a very slow list updater... But I think this is as good a start as any
