Yeah, I've done that a few times and regretted it so now I'm a packrat - lucky old boards don't take too much room [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Win98 is loaded and running, just bought a dual RCA - phono cable (damned AWE64 has R/L phono plugs) at lunch to hook it up. I'll run the phono into my netbook for recording, probably easier than trying to get the P166 to play and record reliably! I should just be loading the MID files from the site and playing them right?

First of all, you don't want to be playing back any MID files, period. Those MID files could only have been obtained using an XMI -> MID converter, which changes the tempo and pitch of the music. Not something we want. You would need an app that can playback the original XMI files directly, without any conversion.
Next, you would need to upload the EQ soundfont file into the AWE's soundbank, and then playback the XMI music. The thing is, i've already done this exact thing, and the recorded MP3's in the previous links that you guys have been listening to are the result of that effort. There is no reason to do that again...
What we REALLY need to do, is to get an old EQ client (1999-2000 era) to playback the music directly, instead of using an outside program. This way any modifications/enhancements (if any) that the EQ client makes to the music can be heard and recorded. The client has its own way of loading the soundfont files, so you won't need to do that.
The trick here is to actually get into the game on an old client to listen to the music. You would need to find an old version of eqemu, or possibly eternalquest to run to log into the old client. Thus, you would have to run your own server and probably use a minilogin to get in. However, once in, recording the music should be a trivial task.
