Any way to get a different music CD to play?

I had a great idea. I want listen to Holst's "The Planets" for this game.

Well, in the settings.txt file, you can specify what tracks are played for different periods ex:
Intro:
Combat:
Non-Combat:

I could then have "Mars, the Bringer of War" play whenever combat begins. How perfect! But I cannot get the game to read from a different music CD. Any tips/help?

...and I already know about starting the CD after the game starts. That doesn't help with game with choosing different read paths...

Please help!

Well, I am using 'Simply the best of the 80's' CD for my game and I have no problems with it.
Here are some things that may help:
1 - Check the top of the Settings.txt file to see if CD play is enabled
2 - Check the options in the game to see if the CD play is enabled
3 - Your music CD should be in the drive BEFORE you start the game. If you put it in during the game, it won't start playing immediately (it usually does start to play when switching to/from tactical combat).
