Description
I played The Elder Scrolls: Arena a while back and loved the soundtrack. It really captured that sword & sorcery fantasy feel of Tamriel. Skyrim's soundtrack is great, but there isn't enough songs in my opinion. So I thought, why not just add in all the previous Elder Scroll soundtracks?
This mod does exactly that, but for Arena and Daggerfall, it uses HQ soundtrack remakes by Pieces of 8 Bit. These remakes are very faithful and similar to the original. I chose to use the remakes because the old timey audio quality of Arena and Daggerfall doesn't really mesh well with the newer, higher audio quality of Oblivion, Morrowind, and Skyrim. Both combat music and noncombat music are present.
Some soundtracks may be a bit too loud or too quiet. This is because I haven't spent much time fine tuning the volume of every song (takes forever and is not fun). I would've recommended that you download the mod NPC Dialogue Audio Enhancer by skyrimaguas, but this mod is only available for Special Edition. (makes dialogue much more understandable/louder when music is playing.) If you want to change the loud or quiet songs yourself, download Skyrim Audio Converter, convert the .wxm file of the song you want to change to mp3 or wav, put that in Audacity, adjust the decibel level, reconvert to .wxm format, and overwrite the sound file with the new one in the mod folder. If it's a Morrowind or Oblivion file, you don't convert the file's format.

How do I install this mod?
The Elder Scrolls Compendium Music Pack 1.1 - Adds in Arena, Daggerfall soundtracks. Original Skyrim soundtrack is still present. Must possess PC copy of Morrowind and Oblivion if you also want to include those soundtracks (highly recommended, requires some extra work). You are done now if you only want Arena and Daggerfall soundtracks. If you want Morrowind and Oblivion soundtracks, follow the next steps.
1. Download and install mod through whatever method you prefer.
Mod Manager 1 or 2
Vortex
Nexus Mod Manager
Manual
2a. Go to your The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind game folder, The file path should look something like this, Local Disk (G:)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Morrowind\Data Files\Music
2b. Copy each music file from each folder, (Battle, Explore, Special) and paste it inside the Music folder of my mod you installed. Not the root folder of my mod, but the Music folder of my mod. The file destination should look something like this The Elder Scrolls Compendium Music Pack\Music. There should be no folders inside the Music folder.
3a. Go to the music folder in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game folder. The file path should look something like this, Local Disk (G:)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Oblivion\Data\Music
3b. Copy each music file from each folder, (Battle, Dungeon, Explore, Public, Special) and paste it inside the Music folder of my mod you installed. Not the root folder of my mod, but the Music folder of my mod. The file destination should look something like this mods\The Elder Scrolls Compendium Music Pack\Music. There should be no folders inside the Music folder.
4. Convert all the Morrowind and Oblivion music format from .mp3 to wav. This is because Skyrim can't read .mp3 files. I highly recommend using LameXP which is free and can batch convert files. After you converted those .mp3 files to .wav, you are done.
