How to Add Your Own Music in World of Warcraft

The online role-playing game "World of Warcraft" features a wide variety of music tracks, each designed to match the mood of a specific location. Some players, however, may wish to replace some or all of the game's default music with a custom selection of tracks better suited to their individual tastes. The Soundtrack add-on allows players to add a library of MP3 audio files to the game and assign different songs to specific events or locations.

Open the folder that contains your "World of Warcraft" application. Find and open the "Interface" folder contained within; this folder will contain a folder labeled "AddOns." Drag the "Soundtrack" folder to the "AddOns" folder.
