Music

To get music you will need to install the timidity instruments by downloading timidity.tar.gz and either:

Extract it to the root of your SD card.

or

Extract it elsewhere on your SD card.
Then copy timidity.cfg to the warcraft directory and add this line at the start
```
dir /mnt/sd/path/to/timidity/
```
where path/to/timidity/ is the path to the timidity directory on your SD card.

You can use different timidity instruments, but these were the only ones tested.
