Anybody can try on their own using freeware Audacity. Find your desired music, download Audacity and I can assist you with advice in making it happen. There are a few common snags. 

Ive been trying to import a sound mod for the M249 but I can't seem to get the specs right. i've downloaded audacity but it just won't work. any advice?

I am not at my home PC with audacity and the CM folders right now but here is what I recall that I do...

Grab a working M249 file and right click to jot down its properties. size in KB and under details, the bit rate in kbps.

Then import/open your new one in audacity and modify it to be the same.

Modify AFTER you select the entire file. The sound squiggle thing with timeline should be darkened.

Export as a wave file.

Make sure you name it properly too.

right click on that NEW one and check if it matches the original specs

Slap in z folder.

Restart the game and try it out.

I remember getting a whole bunch of 30s and 40s music from Britain, the US, the Soviet Union, Germany, and Italy, and using them as the music for CMBN (got the US and British music), CMFI (got the Italian music), CMRT (got the Soviet music), and CMFB (got the German music). I don't remember where I got it from. I'm sure it was one of the usual places to find Combat Mission mods.

I think it was this one, but I don't want to download it to my work computer to check: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/cmbn-sound/cm-fi_rt_bn-music-splash/

IT WORKED!!!! Audacity really is the program to use. Although the result sounds a bit weird, beggers can't be choosers I guess

The music for CMRT is a bit too heavy for my taste. I wonder whether there are WMV files available? For CMBN I have British Grenadiers which is more to my liking but not suited for the Eastern front.

I  did a collection of „intro music“ for BN, FI and RT a long time ago. For RT Iit included the Russian anthem and a few regimental marches,’IIRC.

Should still be available at the FGM mod depot. If not, drop me a lined.

I found some of your music on FGM, like Bulge, France 1940, Band of Brothers and Stuka Siren, but not the collection you've mentioned.

No sweat. It took me about 10 minutes.

If you find a song or 2 you want made into the intro music. (Just 1 or 2 please). Post the link to the songs here. I can use freeware Audacity to record and make them the CMRT intro music...or post battle music too. Easy peasy

Thanks for the offer, Phil. These two old German folk songs (Landsknechte) would be great.

Hi Phil, thx! Katyusha is great, indeed. I am tempted to change my RT music for the first time since umpteen years…😊

This is the one I use for CMRT intro music if any one wants I'll upload. For CMBN - I use Band of Brothers theme. For CMFB - Music from one of the John Tiller series. For CMFI- A Different Star Blazers soundtrack music. For all modern warfare titles I use radio chatter from the HBO series "Generation Kill". All good stuff to set mood.

You may be surprised at how good the Star Blazer soundtrack music is. Great war mood music that sticks with you. At least for me as the music was just one of the aspects of the series that grabbed me as a boy. If you've never seen the series it's worth the watch story wise while you're eating you're morning bowl of cereal even as an adult 😉. It's all on the web and youtube. I think the original 1970's is still the best version, but the animation and re-boot "Space Battleship Yamato 2199" is very good too.
