Pure Classic Music Mod
Brings back music from the original Binding of Isaac.
Created 9 years ago
This mod only contains music from the original Binding of Isaac. The floors from Afterbirth now use the music from their counterparts (read the readme if don't want this). If you want new music for these floors then check out my Kinda Classic Music Mod. It adds music from other sources, such as The Binding of Isaac: Community Remix.

The music in this mod comes directly from the official soundtrack of The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb, the game itself and nothing else.

- Added an optional music.xml that does not replace Afterbirth's music. Now you can have the old music on the old floors and the new music from Afterbirth on the new floors. Request fulfilled.

- Updated to Afterbirth!

- Afterbirth floors use music from normal floors.

- Check out my Kinda Classic Music Mod if you want new music for these floors!

yoo trying to download on mac but its not working, any tips?
WORKS on Nintendo Switch.
You of course need Atmosphere CFW with LayeredFS support.

Unzip the mod in this folder of the SD card:
atmosphere/contents/010021C000B6A000/romfs/resources
Depths 1 and past has no sound, mod outdated
Working for Repentance as of 4/23/21 (even without official mod support). Achievements still unlock. Should be a braindead install.

1. Download mod. Extract w/ WinRAR or 7-Zip. Make a copy of 'music' folder found inside. Ignore/delete any other files included.
2. Go into game files > resources > packed. Delete/move 'music.a' (move it back or recover it via Verify Integrity in Steam if you lose it or want to uninstall this).
4. Rename one copy of the downloaded 'music' folder to 'music.a' and place it into 'packed' folder of the game.
5. Place the other copy of the downloaded 'music' folder (unedited) in resources.
6. Like this comment, then launch and enjoy the old tunes on some floors/fights.
Awesome, thanks! This worked for me.
Music stopped working all together on depths 1, and the title screen music is still repentance. Anyone know any fixes?
I'm also on this issue. Depths doesn't have music, the secret room doesn't have music, and the title music stays as its default as if it were unmodded.
Any tips on getting this working with Repentance? The unpacking method below doesn't seem to work.
Took me hours of tinkering (Rebirth version), hopefully my explanation clears up any confusion. Download this mod, extract anywhere with WinRAR/7Zip. Download Rick'sUnpacker (help section of this website) and unzip that too. Go to your game folder (/steam/common/tboirebirth/resources) and open the 'packed' folder. Drag 'music.a' on top of 'Gibbed.Rebirth.Unpack.exe' from Rick'sUnpacker. It should make 'music_unpack' folder after a delay. Two folders into that should be a 'music' folder with lots of .ogg files inside. Cut that 'music' folder and paste back into your '/resources' of the game's files. Now in 'packed' again drag 'config.a' onto the unpacker. Dig into the new unpacked folder and find 'music.xml' and put this in '/resources' with the 'music' folder. NOW copy the 'music' folder from the mod into '/resources' and overwrite any conflicts. DO NOT copy over the 'music.xml' from the mod, this made all music stop working in-game for me. Clean up any unpacked folders (including the leftovers .xml's from config_unpack) you made from the .a files and run the game. Voila
I found this also works with repentance if you take the music folder you just made for resources and just rename it Music.a and put it into the packed directory
can you explain in detail what your supposed to do? i tried it but it didn't work me
Can you upload somewhere a file that someone could just drag and drop into the folder? The instructions you gave are hard to follow and i don't want to accidently mess up my copy of the game.
Doesn't work, tried that one method that's supposed to work but all it does it make the game crash.
This mod doesn't work. The instructions in these comments don't work. And if a mod doesn't work, it's worthless. Delete this trash.
following the readme instructions doesn't work at all, just unpack everything (except the "optional" folder and the readme file) to the "resources" folder
Seems people are having some trouble installing the mod. The readme is false, you have to do a couple more steps. Go to your installation folder, tools then use the resource extractor exe. Once unpacked, go to the resources folder and rename the packed folder to something else. Then drag and drop the contents of the mod folder into the resources folder, making sure to replace anything it asks you to. Bam, mod installed.
I don't have the enough words to say thank you, but THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Needs an update. I installed the mod, and it appears in enabled mods, but has no effect. All music is unchanged.
Pasted the music folder, xml, and sfx folder in Resources folder, did not work. Tried in main Isaac folder, still did not work. I have afterbirth+
How to make it work? what i have to do with the .xml file?
I only have the Afterbirth DLC. Do I need Afterbirth+ too?
I don't have any of those fancy DLC, is it supposed to work even though i only have Rebirth?
so all of the right files are in the right spot and have replaced the original stuff, but somehow its still playing the old music. No idea whats up
Man playing TBoI with Rebirth/Afterbirth graphics + Vanilla Isaac music= Literally heaven

Great job wrath of the lamb had awesome music
Found a fix for this as of 2018: Check that you are installing to the correct location of Isaac as found Steam > Local Files > Browse Local Content as opposed to installing in a separate copy of the game that is not launched by Steam.
Can someone post a folder example for what romaje is talking about? I unzipped the folder fine and other mods work fine. For the love of Isaac someone please fix this, so many people suffering without it.
My game crashed trying to apply it. ;-;
nice this game stepped up another level and i love the first game
Does this mod work with rebirth?
I really love the way it brings such amazing music into the game
Could you pretty please fix this? Other mods work for me so I'm not doing anything wrong.
Useless for my personal game file because I mostly play with no sound on, but damn did putting my mouse over that thing give me goosepumps.
PLS PLS PLS add it in the steam workshop this is too good of a mod to pass up with afterbirth+
We need this to be fixed! Literally the best mod out there, but it seems to have stopped working as of about 2 months ago.
Is this compatible with rebirth only? Since it's not working for me :/
I've tried several times to install this mod for mac. I am extracting the music, sfx, and music.xml files into my resources folder:

Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/The Binding of Isaac Rebirth/The Binding of Isaac Rebirth.app/Contents/Resources/resources

However, it is not working. I have tried to put the data into every other subfolder and nothing works.

Is there a different installation for afterbirth or is this not compatible with the mac version of the game.

I just want to say, I've used this mod and it definitely worked before.

thanks in advance for any help.
How do I unpack the xml file????
This mod isn't working for me
"You can't beat the classics." That's the quote I always lived by when playing games.
Don't think it works anymore. At least not on Afterbirth+
I extracted everything into Antibirth/Resources, but it isn't working. When I have it set to Antibirth music, the Antibirth music plays, and then I set it to Rebirth and nothing plays at all. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
Oh, never mind. I just realized that it requires afterbirth
i start play isaac when edmund release the TBOI origial, this mod is FULL nostalgy :')
cant get it to work, i've seen conflicting things about it working and not working with afterbirth+, i'm running afterbirth+, nothing i do seems to work i have tried everything how i have been directed in the comment and in steam community, nothing has worked... help??
I really like this soundtrack
Is the Rebirth version of this mod compatible with Antibirth? If it isn't, does anyone know how to edit Antibirth's files to use the WOTL soundtrack in place of the Rebirth music?
Yes and no. You can put it into the antibirth folder and it'll work just fine, but not without issues, like antibirth music having trouble loading and certain rooms (Planetariums) losing their music when using Original. It works, but it has some glaring issues that I or someone else should look into fixing.
Does anyone know if this mod is compatible with afterbirth+?
Все содержимое нужно поместить в папку ресурсы
I have a strange problem : when I'm in a room filled with monsters, there is the new eletric guitar theme while there is the original music in the back... odd.
Also, is that normal that the burning basement and else keep their music ? So this pack may not be used during greed mode ?
I love the music from the original game so this is amazing
Can someone please fix the readme. It says to put the relevant files in the game folder, but it should go in the resources folder instead. It's annoying trying to figure it out
Does not seem to work for AB+ any longer, even after re-installing and following the README.TXT instructions. Perhaps something in the background changed?
You're welcome.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/250900/discussions/0/142260895147572127/
it worked for 2 days but they just now patched this too
I have the same problem. I uninstalled Afterbirth+ (Because... you know... it's AWFUL.) But now the classic music mod no longer works. And the resource extractor is no longer there. Am I screwed?
I figured it out just run the resource extractor, be sure to rename the packed file (i named mine packed +) and install your mod, you will have to replace the existing music file and music.xml with the mods music file and the mods music.xml, one more important thing is to go into the games original music folder, take the afterbirth file out and put it into the mods music file so you will have new afterbirth content otherwise when you get burning basement ect you wont have music . Hope this helped because the original soundtrack is boss.
could you try explaining this again with some more punctuation and clearer wording lol ;)
I had no problem understanding it though? XD
Awesome music.... fits well with rebirth/afterbirth
The readme is misleading. Extract the music.xml file and the music and sfx folders into your RESOURCES folder. Then it will work.

Beautiful mod and a beautiful soundtrack!
Nothing better than nostalgia. Perfect sound quality, no bugs whatsoever, 10/10
You need to make an antibirth music mod pretty please
