Is there a way to restore the original main menu music?

THE MOST trivial question ever.

from Sins Forums

I wasn't sure where to put this topic, either Technical or Modding, but really it's not a technical problem and it's not a gameplay mod...

Is there some way to restore the vanilla Sins main menu music and replace the Entrenchment one? The original menu music is easily my favorite track in the game, and I was saddened to hear it replaced by an okay, but inferior (in my opinion, of course) piece for Entrenchment. The original track was part of my initial experience with the game and grasping how vast the scope of control in game was, highlighting the epic nature of intergalactic war.

If there's no way I can change it back, then it's okay considering Diplomacy's coming out soon and I can take my chances with that menu music instead. But is there really no way?

I believe if you search the keywords in your post I bet other people have asked this question and gotten answer

Edit: I believe if you look at the sound manifest you will find what you are looking for, and look for the opening theme, replace the song with the original one...

Edit 2: If you copy the opening theme.ogg (or something along those lines) into the entrenchment folder soound folder you will get the result, not sure if you update entrenchment, you run the risk of having to redo it again.

This trick works for virtually any game.  You can swap out sound files by removing the existing sound file and adding in the desired one with the same file name.

It's pretty simple to replace the opening theme. Copy Opening Theme.ogg from the Sins of a Solar Empire folder (Not application folder), and move it over the Entrenchment sound file folder. Also, you can have any song as your opening theme by making a copy of the sound file, and renaming it to Opening Theme.ogg. I had the TEC Theme as the menu theme for a while. ^_^

Yep, I've got the original menu theme playing.

 

I hate how I have to redo it after every update though.
