Features:
- Quickly create province-specific "battle" and "explore" soundtracks for Tamriel Rebuilt (Mainland Morrowind) and Project Tamriel's province mods (Cyrodiil and Skyrim) by dragging and dropping music into folders.
- Plays province-specific songs immediately upon changing province, regardless of interior/exterior cell.
- If you leave a folder empty, the game will instead play the vanilla soundtrack.
- Create soundtracks for other mods with a few, easy steps.

Installation:
- Extract the included "Music" and "MWSE" folders to your "Morrowind/Data Files" folder.
- Drop any number of mp3s into the new "Data Files/Music/cyrodiil/...", "Data Files/Music/morrowind/...", and "Data Files/Music/skyrim/..." battle and explore folders.
- Run Morrowind.

Custom Soundtracks:
- Create a folder within Morrowind/Data Files/Music that contains "battle" and "explore" folders.
- Place your compatible mp3s in the new "battle" and "explore" folders.
- Open "config.lua".
- Add path entries for your new folders to "this.paths" which follow the existing entries' style.
- Add region entries for your new mod to "this.regions" which follow the existing entries' style.
- Run Morrowind.

FAQs:
- "My game crashes when I change cells and there's no error output in MWSElog.txt"

    Mp3s must be constant bit rate (128 kb/s works) and 44.1 kHz. If your game crashes, then the Mp3s need to be converted.

    Audacity conversion guide:
    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1286368766

    Wavosaur 1.4: 
    1) Download LAME Mp3 encoder and put it in your Wavosaur folder.
    2) Open Wavosaur 1.4, choose Tools->Batch Process.
    3) Select your music folder, click "Convert to 44100 kHz", then "Start".
    4) Batch convert the output Wavs back to 128 kb/s Mp3s.
