I know heaps of people have already asked this but i cant find a solution to this. I put a .mp3 file in named as something like "gamestartup10" start the game up but its rather no sound or just the default themes. I try to replace a sound example gamestartup6 i replace that rename the exact same, it plays ingame when i start it up next but after i start it up again it gets replaced with the normal. Sooo is there anyway to change the music because the default ones can get quite annoying after hearing them a million damn times.
Not perfect solution, but you can just add new music, naming it like "gamestartup_*something*", so you'll have both your and default music
You can also mark the files as read-only, that should prevent them from getting replaced.

I've tried that but theres no music, just silence or the default music.

I've also tried that but only on the custom ones. Am i suppose to do it on the audio files im replacing or the custom ones?
You might be using the improper file type

Im using .mp3 files though..
Source engine doesn't support .mp3-files.
Convert them to .wav.
What sound file would i have to use then to have custom menu music then? Since i've just been putting them in the folder tf > sound > ui or whatever it is as a .mp3. Or does it have to be .wav?
Just want to know how to have proper working menu music already.

TF2 uses MP3s for main menu soundtracks.
You have to change the format of the song and rename it gamestartupx where X is one of the numbers used for the game command to play the song at random.
So for example i would have it named something like "gamestartup9.mp3" and place it in my ui folder? Well thats the problem it just plays ingame as nothing or just the normal songs. Thats why i wanna know if you can just replace the normal ones since there are some i kinda dont like. (Sorry for being such an idiot)
Well, I think you can script it in autoexec.cfg:
[code]sv_cheats 1
wait 5;stopsound;play ui/customgamestartup1.mp3
sv_cheats 0
[/code]
I'm not sure if we can make it to play multiple custom songs. "playgamesound" works only if client is connected into a server, but you can open a background map, and use custom gamesound script to make it play random music.
You have to convert it to a MP3 with 128kbps, 44,100hz, and Stereo.
Then place it in \steamapps\<username>\team fortress 2\tf\ui\gamestartup<number>.mp3 (without the <>)
