Help Me Gurus -- How Do I Change the Battle Music?
 

I want to change the battle music to something more upbeat -- maybe the theme from Monday Night Football. I found the "Raw Sound" folder and assume that one of the files in there is the battle music file, but I do not know what to do next. What I think is the specific problem is:

All the files in the Raw Sound folder are .al or .smp files. I am unfamiliar with these extensions and cannot get them to play with the typical players (Windows Media Player and RealPlayer). I tried changing the .al and .smp extensions to .wav and .midi, but without success in playing them.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can take my .mp3, midi, and .wav files and get them to play as the battle music?

You would need to convert them to .al format
I havent found a free, or even cheap program to do that

Do you know of a free program that will at least let me play the .al files? If I could do that, at least I could identify the battle music file.

Sox's play command can play the files at least, (8 bit a-law encoded files, sample rate seems to be about 44khz) so it should be able to convert into the same format as well. You'll have to experiment to find the right parameters, though. (Or ask Illwinter.)
