What file format do sound files have to be.I made 2 WW2 German music packs a LONG time ago and uploaded them.As far as i can remember they go in the Gramaphone file in Data/Sounds.I have done that and they open with windows media player,but they wont play.I guess it has to be something simple that i am missing.Any help greatfuly recieved.

They need to be in .ogg format or .mp3. ogg vorbis is better and keep all of them the same. Use anv audio converter to change them if u need to its free. Then paste them into the gramophone folder. Jobs a good un!

Ok they are already in.ogg format,but it appears that they open with HP Music connect for some reason.Im now at a loss on my next move.

Place them in a folder,they go in but it refuses to work.i will try and get a scren shot for you.The down loads are under Andym's German Music in the downloads section.I know they work with XP and "should" work with win 8.1 as the rest of the game does.

The operating system as nothing to do with the sound files.

Copy and paste you .ogg file in the gramaphone folder and it will work.
