In fact why not just add the soundtrack as a bonus? If you're still having trouble getting the CD tracks to work properly just give us the soundtrack separately so when can play the game and have the songs going in our media players instead?
So, vulchor, do you have express written permission from the creator or the rights holder to distribute that soundtrack for free?
Also, the DOS version of CapPlus is offered as close to the original as possible and the version we have has been verified as such, DRM or copy protection removal not withstanding. So if the original did not feature any working calls to music, that's beyond our control.

Unfortunately, this still doesn't address the problem. There is no music being played. The DOS version had midis, GOG's version is not configured properly to play the midi files. The music is available in your release, just packed and stripped of midi headers. I do not know how to add those headers back. The files I have uploaded are these in original form but exported through a soundcard. Which is all the CD-audio tracks are as well.
So all this has done is confused me even more.
Again, let me make it clear: The DOS version DOES have music. GOG's DOS version is not configured to play the music, even though the binary data is provided. Therefore, I buy the game, I have the files, so am I licensed to play the files in the game. So are all other people that own the game. I am only offering the files to those that own the game so that they may partake in the original gameplay experience.
When you use the word "apparently" in the phrase "apparently, we didn't get the necessary permission..." it makes it seem like that is not an informed response, just speculation. There has been way too much speculation over this issue already, and I'm still extremely disappointed that it took over 4 years and my questionable tactics to get this much of a response.
I will respectfully take the link down, obviously. And I do thank you what little response you were able to give. I would be ecstatic, however, if you would respectfully provide more information or give a big nudge to whoever needs it to get the music working as was originally designed.
And, I am most certainly calling out your complete bullshit about this version being verified as closest to the DOS version as possible. My first paragraph and the rest of the thread entries that you pointed to verify the converse of what you said. I do apologize about my use of an antagonistic tone and language. My frustration levels just hit the point of boiling. I'm not trying to single you out Judas or suggest that you are a bullshitter, just that you got the wrong information. Please forgive my inability to phrase this whole thing more respectfully, I just don't know how at this time.
edit: thank you for removing the links :)
edit 2: I used the word apparently because it's the weekend and I don't always have all of the information on hand about a game and I am not about to bring up work matters on the weekend with other staff members.
