Advanced Music.
Go to your data folder and open the system notepad you are currently using.
Find this section:
Mugen wrote:[Music]
title.bgm =data/snd/KOF.mp3
title.bgm.loop =1
select.bgm =data/snd/KofSelect.mp3
select.bgm.loop =1
vs.bgm =data/snd/TechJam.mp3
vs.bgm.loop =1
title.bgm =data/snd/KOF.mp3
title.bgm.loop =1
select.bgm =data/snd/KofSelect.mp3
select.bgm.loop =1
vs.bgm =data/snd/TechJam.mp3
vs.bgm.loop =1
Ok, now place the music you want to use in the Snd folder located in the data folder. Data/Snd
If you don't have a Snd folder, then create one.
Remember to keep the song's name as short as possible, and it must not have any spaces.
Next go back to the music section in the system notepad and simply change the name of the music in the directory in the line for the music you want to change.
Say you want to change the main menu music, and you want to use King of Fighter's Maximum Impact main menu theme.
Follow the example bellow.
[Music]
title.bgm =data/snd/KOF.mp3
title.bgm.loop =1
Keep the loop allways as 1 to repeat the music, otherwize it will stop playing.
Save...and that's about it.
Remember to allways type .mp3 or .OGG after the song name, for it to take effect.
Note that Main menu, Character select, and versus screens also support SND and OGG files.
If the mp3 doesn´t work, then use OGG.
The quality isn´t as good, but should work better.

there is no snd folder
If in case you don't have a Snd folder, then create one.
Or you can place the song in any directory you like.
As long as the line is the same as where the song is located, it doesn't matter where you place the file.
but when i put it in the sound folder and i type the line in the notepad it never plays and it is a mp3 and i do .mp3 it just stays silent.
Try making a new folder inside the data folder and name it snd.
then go to the line you want to change the song and type the directory there.
Note that if you place the song where the stage music goes, you only have ti type sound/nameofsong.mp3.
If you create a new folder in the data folder, then you have to type data/sound/nameofsong.mp3.
Also, download the plugin i have uploaded, as the basic mugen, or some screen packs do not support mp3 files as the main menu music.
Alternativelly, use a music converter and save the file as OGM or SND. and use the respective file extenction when you type in the line.
did you just renamed it into .mp3 or is it a real mp3? rename and converting is not the same
True, make sure the file is an mp3, and you just didn't rename it.
Also, if you place a SND file, make sure you use the SND extention instead of mp3.
I can't get it to work at all...here's what I did:
1.Added the songs to the "sound" folder and gave them the simplest names ever.
2.Went to data, system.def, and put the names of the songs as .mp3 files
3.After testing it for 3 freaking times, I found another system.def under "mugen1" in the data and tried doing that
4.Rip my freaking hair out over how frustrating it is.
I can get mp3's to perfectly work like a dream with stages, but I can't do it with the screens. Please help!
Try converting the files to ogg format. it should work.
