Hello enthusiasts!
The question is simple: How can I import the music from the original gameCD into OpenTTD?

Thanks in advance.

I think the last paragraph of this page may be what you need?

OpenTTD Wiki wrote:Additionally, you may want to copy the original game music. To accomplish that, you need to copy the /gm/ folder from the TTD CD to the /baseset in your personal OpenTTD directory.


There are a few ways to get these files:

Copy the folder and files from the TTD game CD to your OpenTTD /data folder.
Unzip a TTD installation zip file, and copy the folders.
Install TTD for Windows in another directory and then copy the folders.
I assume after doing this, you can choose the music to use from the ingame settings. That page doesn't seem awfully clear, so I am assuming by lack of another step being mentioned, that's all you need to do. Perhaps another member can help with any missing details.

That's exactly the answer I needed. Just to copy the /gm folder.
In the game I chose original_windows and voila, I got what I wanted.

Really thank you.
