Just add a music file of the type “Ogg Vorbis” (*.ogg) named “<code>main_menu.ogg</code>” into this directory:

−
* GNU/Linux: <code>$HOME/.minetest/sounds</code>, where “<code>$HOME</code>” refers to your home directory.
 
−
* macOS: same as for GNU/Linux.
 
−
* Windows: into the “<code>sounds</code>” directory found in the main program folder in which you have installed Minetest. It is the directory containing the directories like <code>bin</code> (which in turn contains <code>minetest.exe</code>), <code>builtin</code>, <code>client</code>, <code>doc</code>, <code>fonts</code>, <code>games</code>, <code>locale</code>, <code>mods</code>, <code>textures</code>, etc.

If the “<code>sounds</code>” directory does not exist, create it.

This music file will play repeatedly in the main menu. Sadly, the main menu music stops when you enter the loading screen. :-(

You can add up to 11 different music files; Minetest will pick a track at random. The following file names are recognized:

* <code>main_menu.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.0.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.1.ogg</code>

* <code>main_menu.2.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.3.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.4.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.5.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.6.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.7.ogg</code>
 
−
* <code>main_menu.8.ogg</code>
