Here is what you need to do.
1) Find your OLD EQ CD, the original. Not EQ Gold or EQ Trilogy or anything like that, EQ the origonal.
2) Install it into any folder, I chose to install it into a folder called EQClassic. So for me it was C:\Program Files\EQClassic.
3) Do not patch your new EQClassic folder, leave it as is because it already contains all the files you will need to enable all of the old EQ music.
4) Within the EQClassic folder you have just installed you will find the following files:
(.XMI being Midi in compressed format, sort by type to get all the .xmi files easier.)
akanon.xmi
befallen.xmi
blackburrow.xmi
butcher.xmi
cauldron.xmi
damage.xmi
eastkarana.xmi
ect...
You want to Copy ALL the .xmi files from the EQClassic folder Into the EQ folder you run SoD from. From akanon.xmi to tox.xmi
5) Now that all the music files have been moved into your SoD folder what you need to do is go back into the EQClassic folder and find the following
files:
(All these files are in the EFF format so sort by type will make theis alot easier)
airplane_sndbnk.eff
airplane_sounds.eff
akanon_sndbnk.eff
akanon_sounds.eff
befallen_sounds.eff
beholder_sndbnk.eff
beholder_sounds.eff
blackburrow_sndbnk.eff
blackburrow_sounds.eff
butcher_sndbnk.eff
butcher_sounds.eff
ect...
What you want to do is copy any file ending in _sndbnk.eff AND _sounds.eff from the EQClassic folder into the EQ folder you run SoD from. Should be from airplane_sndbnk.eff, airplane_sounds.eff TO tox_sndbnk.eff, tox_sounds.eff
6) Use the Patchme method to enter the game and there you have it!! All the origonal EQ music is back and enabled.
I am not good at all at writing guides so please let me know if you are confused on how to do this. If anyone else wants to write a better guide on how to do this please go right ahead.
Also check out http://www.shardsofdalaya.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6005. Here you will find how to Enable Old Spell Graphics along with Old Skeleton and Wolf models. With the old music, old spell graphics, old Skeleton models, and old wolf models it makes for a pretty Classic like experience. Now just to get old spell gems and icons back.... hmmm.

To get olschool Spell Visuals move or delete spellsnew.edd, spellsnew.eff, and the SpellEffects folder from your EQ Folder. I simply cut and pasted them into a different folder.
To get oldschool wolf and skeleton models simply move or delete global6_chr.s3d, gequip5.s3d from your EQ folder. I cut and pasted into a different folder.
