The normal music too boring for you? Want something a little different? Too lazy to install XFire and playing music through iTunes/Media Player too annoying to change song?
Well, do I have a solution for you (no crc)

-Firsts things first. Find a song, it can be any song, any length ut it must e either a .wav or .mp3 file. You also must be administrator to perform this.

-Go to the taunts folder (default loctaion is C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Empires 3/Sound/taunts

-Paste your song/ songs

-Rename the song file and add a random 3 digit number higher than 33, or a non-taken number in taunts if you have custom ones installed (for 2-digit numbers add a 0 in front).
Your music is now considered a taunt by the game. Here is my example:

So, for example, if I was in game, I would type 331 into the chat and it will come out as a taunt and my music will play. Easy as!

So you can pick what songs you want to listen to easier, as long as you remember what number that song is.

This option is in no way the best option for running music in the background of AOE3, but it is still a possible option.

Ok this is sad but an Idea, I could make a file which said the word "Herd" every 9 seconds and make it last for 1 minute 30 seconds and use it as a taunt and when I start herding press the taunt as I always forget about herding in team games I just forget.

I cant stand windowed mode. I have to have my full attention on the game. Also, I always go outside of the screen with my mouse when trying to move around. Very annoying.
