Hello,
and welcome !
Before changing the files to *.ogg or whatever: You hear the default music as long as you do not tell your radio operator to switch on the grammophone and choose another title with the "arrow" or "goto next arrow" button. When you stop the current tune, you will hear the default music again, until you turn it off in the sound menu - then you will only hear your tunes.
Greetings,

thanks evryone for all your help.

ive found that my gramaphone plays wmp single track files ok but not the pack files,my system dosn't reconise ogg files .

im not that good when it comes to things like file types.

where do i get the software to use these files or convet them ?

also with my radio message options i dont get the options for escort to base wich i know you have to be close to base for or the new orders option .is this down to realism settings?

thanks agin for all your help folks

It's actually not important if your system recognizes the files, the game does.

Just put them in the Gramophone folder, preferably as ogg files (other types can end up only playing part in the game) and go to the radioman's gramophone commands, pressing the 'play' button will start cycling through the files in that folder.

Just look in google for 'ogg converter' if you want to find something to turn files into ogg files. The one I found took a while to convert the many mp3s I had, but it was worth it!
