No it isn't. Look in d2music.mpq and d2xmusic.mpq for the music files, look near the end of sounds.txt for the music entries. Block controls at what byte the music can re-start at (starts in the middle of the song when re-entering level instead of beginning) -1 means not a block there. if your new music is shorter than these blocks you might get a crash.

If you want to change which music is used for a particular level, look in soundenviorn.txt for sound enviornments (which include background music) and then in levels.txt to see what sound enviornment that level uses.

NOTE: If you are inserting custom-made music, make sure that you record it in 22500Hz 16-bit stereo format or it may sound garbled during gameplay. Also, you'll need to copy your D2MUSIC.MPQ and D2XMUSIC.MPQ (already done if you've installed D2X), to your Diablo II directory and insert your new music there.

In any case, read Jeff's post above this one on how to work with the D2/D2X music.

What .dll music stuff are you talking about. It's not hardcoded...

Well, the dll stuff is of course hardcoded by definition.

What were you thinking of changing then? Playing back music in a different wav format? Making it play MP3s? (would be nice!) Making it play audio CDs?
