Theme music?

Is it possible to, while in the platform picker screen in Big Box to have one audio file play throughout? As in, not through each individual platform video, but just a constant one that wouldn't change when scrolling through platforms. Just a constant menu music.

You can place any music files you want to use as background music into the "LaunchBox\Music\Background" folder. If the "Background" folder doesn't exist you may have to manually create it first.

You also have to enable the background music in the Big Box Sound options to make the music play. Hope that helps :)

This thread may be a few years old but this is still a relevant question. Yes, you can create a backgrounds folder under music and Bigbox will play the audio file you drop in there, but the music you hear when scrolling platforms is actually the platform videos themselves (Launchbox->Videos->Platforms). All you have to do to get rid of the modern dance/tekno music blasting is go into the themes sound options and mute the video volume. A more permanent solution is to edit each of the platform videos with handbrake and mute the music. Then you can drop your audio file in the backgrounds folder, enable background music, and hear one song of your choice. You can also use handbrake to adjust the volume by percentage if you like. You can also change the videos altogether as long as you retitle them to the original name. There are many platform videos on Emu Movies that show gameplay and none of this ear shattering dance music. Or you can record your own gameplay.
