I'm not quite sure exactly why you would want to do this, as the Mega Man Legends game music is quite enjoyable, but for those of you who would like a change of pace...
What you'll need:
A.) A music file format converter; it will need to convert the original sound file you want to be in the game into Wave (.wav) format, which is what MMLPC uses.
(You'll want to search Google for something along the lines of "mp3 to wav converter")
If you simply want to swap the game music, a file format converter isn't needed.
B.) A media player to test your new sound file (should be obvious, but eh.) You're good to go here, most media players can play .wav files, including iTunes. If you simply want to swap the game music, ignore this.
Notes before I continue:
-Your music files are located in the "BGM" folder, which is found in the installation folder of MMLPC (usually C:\Program Files\Capcom\Megaman\BGM)
-MAKE SURE YOU MAKE BACKUPS! I can't say this enough. Unless you want to lose the original MMLPC music, I highly recommend you make backups of the original files. If for some reason you do lose an original sound file, simply un-install and re-install the game.
-Please don't ask me what each sound file is at this time. As I said above, most media players can play .wav files, including iTunes. I may make a list in the future of what each file is when I'm bored, but for now I leave that to you.
-I found this interesting, but the game will actually pause the music when you minimize the window.
Step 1.) Prepare your Wave (.wav) file. Again, if you just want to swap the game music, all you'll need to do is find the track you want to move to another part of the game. One important thing to note is that .mp3 files converted to .wav files end up being quite larger in .wav format, so whatever it is you want to use for your game music should be kept relatively small, even if you have to trim the audio file.
Step 2.) Rename your new audio file with the name of the original file you wish to replace. You would name your new .wav file "MUSIC00" if you wish to have it replace the music that plays after the first cutscene, for example.
Step 3.) *Backup the original file* and replace it with your new .wav file.
That should be everything.
If you need to further edit the music file, such as the length of the clip or the loop, you'll need software such as Winamp and Audacity. I've had to edit the loop for other PC games, but the file seemed to loop just fine with MMLPC. If you need additional assistance, feel free to ask!
