Has anyone changed the music for Dwarf Fortress?

Just curious.

The only thing I changed was the Fortress Mode theme.
It is now Sanctuary Fortress from Metroid Prime 2.

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=63752.0 Here's a thread still on the first page about music people listen to while playing; turning the music off ingame and throwing up winamp or whatever is the same end result as changing the in-game files.

On a better note, does converting your chosen track to .ogg and renaming it song_game work?

Yeah.   That's what the OP is talking about.

There's a thread from way, way back discussing this too. I liked some Arcanum music, but in the end I stuck with the default one. Somehow, nothing fits DF better than that music.

Indeed 'nothing' fits better than the default music. I prefer my silence.
