Music

[Johnfb]

I have it already, and like it... along with the others I have from here.

really I just wanted to know what songs members attribute to different scenes in the game...and hopefully get some ideas.

Wagner, hadn't thought of that, so I will DL the flight of the of the valkyries

Thanks everyone.

You can put the files directly into the Gramophone folder or even better use the Date folders of SH3 Commander so they will load during the appropriate month.

The only time "game music" plays in my installation is in the main menu screens, before and after loading/exiting a mission or patrol, and in the "black screen of death" you get when you croak.

For both I use tracks from the Das Boot soundtrack. I can't remember what the one is called that I use for the menu, I think it's 'U-96 [single version]' or something odd like that, anyway, it's basically just a couple minutes of the easily recognizable "main theme" of the movie.

For the "death" screen I use 'Erinnerung' (spelling?) which is the somewhat melancholy guitar music that plays in the movie when the LI is showing pictures of his wife and home to Werner. And maybe elsewhere, but that's where I remember it from.

I don't like in-game music that plays according to the situation, it gets monotonous and intrusive for me personally. If I want tunes I play the gramophone, which is all popular music of the period, German military stuff, and classical.
