Rip your game CD-ROM's music to MP3 format and place it in a folder on your computer. Download patched _inmm.dll, and install it. Patch LA.exe and LA_GL.exe in <path-to-game> by dragging it onto _inmmconf.exe. Open _inmmconf.exe and set DirectShow player for default file type in the method tab, as well as the MP3 type. In the _inmm.ini tab, add the 4 audio files you have ripped. Make sure the order is correct, and then save it in <path-to-game>.
