Game Music with ClassicUO client

Edit:
I've been advised by Goldenflame that the following steps are rather sub-optimal for most players. I don't doubt it; Most of the problems I run in to and have to solve are oddball. I run linux, I either run UO through the wine compatibility layer (which pretty much rules out MIDI's entirely), or use ClassicUO, which is it's own quirky beast.
For better music, consult Goldenflame. He's got more selection than what I found. too.
Original post:
I had a spot of trouble getting any music to play (using the older 2D client.exe, and the ClassicUO client. Didn't bother trying the stock 3d one).
The solution was to move the mp3 files down one directory, eg from UO/Music/Digital/ to UO/Music/
In addition, the version of Stones that came with this UO Gold client is.. well, I'd call it garbage myself, but I'm sure someone somewhere liked it or it wouldn't have shipped.
For those interested in the original UO music, you can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb1y8n3xviwds ... c.zip?dl=0 (67.57 MB)
I found that link, along with install instructions, on the uorforums here: http://uorforum.com/threads/definitive- ... sic.23086/
