  • You can create a wad with nothing but music entries relatively easily.

    I recommend using XWE which will allow you to manage resources within a WAD file.
    http://www.doomworld.com/xwe/

    Within XWE you can create a New WAD file, and then it's just a matter of placing the MIDI or MUS files in the WAD, and naming them the correct names. I know Doomsday supports standard MIDI files, I'm not sure about other engines. I can't seem to get any form of MIDI/MUS converters to work anymore, so I just use MIDIs.

    I'll use Ultimate Doom as an example. The entries for all level music in Ultimate Doom are named "D_ExMy" where x is the episode and y is the level. "D_E1M1" is the name of the first level music.

    Within XWE, under the Entry menu, choose Load and select the midi or mus file you want to use. Once loaded, you can right-click on the entry you just created and Rename it to "D_E1M1" or whichever episode/level the music is going to be for.

    Doom 2 is a bit more complicated with the naming, here's a list: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Doom_II_music

    Also, can change the music in-game to whatever level's music you want by using the code "IDMUSxx" where xx is the level number.
