* 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.

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