The music is MP3 files in /mp3 subfolder of this game. It appears in two variants: 32-bit mono 24000 Hz (after the coming of add-on) or 32-bit stereo 44100 Hz (before the add-on). The same tracks have also less white noice that in original MP3s. Changing the quality to lezz Hz and mono instead of stereo was most likely caused by expanding the number of it, so it reduced the size of the files.

Ascaron Entertainment licensed MP3s (just find the words "Ascaron Entertainment") for the game.

The game also use MP3 and WAV sounds, packed into PAK file.
