Game Music Files

[The Accumulator]

SO I have stumbled on this a few times by pressing something on my keyboard I still have no idea of how.

Somehow you can access and listen to your games music files through some kind of steam player. Anyone have any idea how to?

At the top of the client, click on View and then Music Player.

It sounds like what you're talking about is a game that had some mp3 (or other) version of the soundtrack included along with the game data. Some games do this (which unfortunately can make some game downloads more bloated than they need to be, but this depends on how it's handled).

Steam does have a music player that can play these things, yeah. Though usually I find it more useful to just use my own music playing program, since these soundtracks are DRM free and can be just lifted out to whatever folder you want (such as your normal music folder).

FYI games also contain the music in some sort of format that can be used by the game itself. These can't necessarily be played in the Steam Music Player, but depending on the game and the format it uses, you may be able to play it using some other program. (Some games will just leave OGG files in plain view, while others encrypt their music and make it inaccessible.)

Man, thats a lot to take in. I read this over twice to be sure, thank you for this!
