Just FYI, there is going to be no way to get that HQ sounding SB AWE music playing in place of the current music ingame. That functionality is no longer there in the EQ client. The best we can do is record MP3's of an old client playing the music on an old computer with an AWE installed. Note that you will need to somehow get a VERY old version of the emu working with the old client to even get into the world. Doable, but tricky.
Well, we already have a lot of the HQ sounding music in mp3 format, isn't it also a problem of getting the p99 client to read mp3s since currently most of those songs are in .xmi format? We can't just swap out the xmi files for the mp3s since they have different extensions and won't be recognized unless the client is told to look for files with a different extension.

I do NOT know in the slightest how all this works, I'm not a programmer and I barely follow what you guys are going on about, but it was my understanding that as much as getting EQ to play the xmi properly in the first place is a problem, so is just telling it to play something other than xmi. Correct me if I'm wrong? :/ I really would love to have this music in my game instead of the regular.
