Hi, I’m new to the game and I found out you could use custom music. However, I can’t seem to find the music folder. I only see a local.dat file in my GW2 folder. Am I supposed to make my own music folder? I know it isn’t absolutely necessary to have custom music but I thought that it would be quite nice to play music from Castlevania and Final Fantasy.

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right part of the forum to ask and if someone has asked a similar question already. I hope someone out there is able to help me! Thanks.

Pretty sure it’s located in My Documents/Guild Wars 2/ rather than in the program files It’s in the same place that screenies get saved too

Edit: Also, welcome to GW2

Thanks! I still can’t find the music folder though. I tried to create my own folder. It works but only for Ambient and BossBattle music…

The music folder does not exist by default. You have to create it. For Windows seven it is in your documents folder/Guild Wars 2.
Here are some things to note:
Crafting doesn’t seem to work, presently.

City playlists depend on the city. Divinity’s Reach, for example, plays your City list almost everywhere. Lion’s Arch, being more outdoors-y, plays it almost nowhere, mostly playing Ambient (except for during holidays! it plays holiday music by default when appropriate). Hoelbrak plays it in high-traffic (ie, trading post, bank) areas, but Ambient in others. Etc etc.

“Special” characters in the file names for your MP3s can throw things off. Spaces seem okay, as do dashes, but others do not.

Custom playlists cannot play compressed music files, even if they are of the appropriate type. In Windows XP and Windows 7, files that are compressed are denoted by having blue text file names instead of the usual black text.
