Default Should I have music?

In some Posts, and in settings.txt I see references to background music tracks. I have never had any music in SEIV ?
I thought maybe it was because I never play with the CD in the drive, but I just put it in and loaded a savegame, hmmm no music.

A puzzled Dragon...

Yeah, you should have music... make sure that you start the game with the CD in.

Also, check your whether the settings for CD music and sound effects are toggled on, under one of the Options buttons. (I forget exactly where it is offhand.)

Sorry if I'm being lame, but is there a way to get CD music without the CD? I'd like to just dump the music files to a hard disk, and point the program to the directory where I dumped the files. I am not interested in any of the CD spooffing apps . . .

FYI I got the music thing fixed, thanks all.
And you're right the music on the CD wasn't worth the effort. Oh well I'll just pop in some Gypsy Kings...

Thanks for the reply. I should have been clear. I'm looking for a way to have SE4 play its music, without having to have the CD in the machine. I also want to avoid multi-tasking apps when one of the apps is a game . . .

I too don't mind SE4's tunes . . . they are fine for covering system fan noise, and the music isn't interesting enough to be distracting (as is the case with all of the CDs in my collection).
