Add music to tracks?

[sonicth033]

Howdy! Huge fan of ring racers here, and I was wondering if it was at all possible to add custom music tracks to existing stages, without replacing the existing songs? Some tracks have multiple possible songs that can play, and it got me wondering if I could add a couple of my own fitting songs to some of these tracks.

Additionally, is there any way to set encore mode stages to play custom music? I've never been a huge fan of the slowed down tracks, so I'd love to give them each their own unique music (especially since many of the encore palettes are inspired by other levels in the series).

For the first half, you mean like this right?

If Yes, you'd have to make an addon that recreates an existing level's header while adding the OGG of the soundtrack you want to use and a MUSICDEF for it. The only change in the level header would be the Music parameter which is mostly the same but with your added track referenced (I used a soundtrack from the SMK addon found here for example purposes). The game will warn you its a game modifying addon, since it's modifying existing data. You'd need to learn how to make the actual OGG and MUSICDEF for it from a tutorial however.
