none of these works, until I discover that the source port I'm using (FTEQW 6202 & 5808) plays the LITERAL soundtrack number instead of the ACTUAL soundtrack number order here's the example:

FTEQW 6202 & 5808
- Demo main menu theme:
        >MAP = e1m3  MusicTrackNum. = track09
- In-game=
        >MAP = e1m3  MusicTrackNum. = track09

Instead of
- Demo main menu theme:
        >MAP = e1m3  MusicTrackNum. = track02
- In-game:
        >MAP = e1m3  MusicTrackNum. = track09

Source ports Like Quakespasm (& Spiked), Mark V, and The best source port vkQuake play the Quake theme in the demo main menu
(which is map e1m3= track02) but in-game it PLAYS the maps theme song (MAP e1m3 = track 09).

well, I just want to play this source port because it has the Og water warp effect, software renderer, and supports map mods like AD, plus my GPU can't support Vulkan.

Try to do this. Create or add lines to the "quake.rc" file in the "ID1" folder:
menu_main
music track 02.ogg (mp3 or any other track name)
In QSS this command works.

music is not actually part of the menu code, instead its normally triggered via demo playback - something most modern engines disable by default.

So you have two options:
1) Enable the startup demo reel - at the game's console after starting up:
    cl_demoreel 1; cfg_save
2) Edit/create your id1/autoexec.cfg file, add the following line:
    cd loop music/filename.ogg
or
    cd loop 3
or something like that.




source ports like quakespasm (& spiked), mark v, etc music (track02 Quake main theme) demo menu behave properly, and yes I tried that and it didn't work, maybe the source port itself. hope they fix it.

Specs:

Intel i3 550
GT 210
4gb 1333mhz
250gb HDD

The reason I place my specs here is to tell you that I can't run VkQuake and I'm using FTEQW instead cus' I'm a purist myself (and the most advanced source port). I had the music pack and the tracks for each map are working except for the main menu for some reason. Are there any fixes for this issue?
