The music is completely absent for me

Not working for me

I'm trying to install this mod on steam deck, Does anyone know how to do it?

Depths 1 and secret room music doesnt work as of 13/7/24, music volume is quieter than the original game music so its a quite jarring and hard to balance with SFX. not worth the hassle getting the mod to work just for this

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Depths 1 and past has no sound, mod outdated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.

Fax
I need this too

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

thx dude it work

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?

does it work with rebirth ?

i love the nostalgia

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

it ferner be epic

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.

Love it soooo much!

I remember this time...

memories

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.

doesn't work

doesn't work T_T

does not work

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

yaa for me too D:

did u unzip the mod file?

it is a good mod and i like it

"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 :')

Noice Idea!

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+?

just try

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

musiccckkk

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?

same problem here

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

:heart

You need to make an antibirth music mod pretty please

I loved the soundtrack from the original and still do, so anyone who comes across this, GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was the 10,000 download, I'M BETTER THAN YOU ALL, I'm kidding, I really enjoy this mod!

I adore this mod so much. Nothing against Rebirth and Afterbirth's music. but the classic music is far more Catchy.

For me it's without any music, just sounds...what i do? i don't have afterbirth.

thanks for making this. i always liked the old music better

Finally a mod that brings back the nostalgia of old BoI in new BoI.

beautiful

Ah yes, memories.

here, have a

"Love"ly

"Love"ly

Say, what's the theme for the Dark Room? I've looked through the OST (pretty half-assedly to be honest) and can't find it. Help would be appreciated!

(Sorry for replying to myself.) Okay, now I've looked through the entire original Binding of Isaac soundtrack, plus Wrath of the Lamb, plus some from the Rebirth and Afterbirth soundtrack. I do love that theme, and help would be extremely appreciated.

The final chapter of this comment trilogy: Listen to the pieces for more than 3 seconds. I didn't realize Unholy Assault was the name of the piece until I downloaded VLC and played the .ogg file that said "Danny Baranowsky - Unholy Assault." Sure enough, 11 seconds in I realize I'm an idiot.

i like to use this mod with Reflash, makes it have a good classic feel

I extracted everything into the resources folder and now there's no music at all. Any ideas?

Figured it out. If anyone else is having trouble, know that you have to extract the music and sfx folders into your main folder and the music.xml file into your resources folder.

Great mod. Thanks! For those of you having problems - After the initial unpack of the zip-file, put all the stuff into the "Resources" folder and you're good to go!

so good, and nostalgist

i love this music, nice job!

Tried a lot of things and it still doesn't work, was this some game update or something? help

Make sure you have unzipped the file and put its content inside the binding of the resources folder (should be inside your steam directory)

DOESN'T WORK!! I've tried a billion different ways to insert the files, but the music does not change. What do you mean by "unpacking the .xml file?"

Unpack everything in the "resources" folder fam ;3

This mod is PERFECT for me, I don't like ambient music (like in Re/Afterbirth) so I normally mute the music, but THIS will do perfectly fine!!

Is there any way to edit the files so you can choose what themes you want and not?
Like if i want another custom "game over" theme for example.

it's the calssics

this is the best mod ever, thanks! )))

omfg ive been wanting this forever now and i could never find it on youtube ty so so much for making this mod

It works perfectly. I love it, thank you for making this!

Cool! I personally enjoy the new music but I can imagine LOTS of people who would love this!

So I'm having some trouble with this, i've unpacked it but i'm not sure what the read-me is saying by unpacking the .xml file. I've tried putting the files into my resources folder, like the site recommends to do, and i've tried putting them into the folder with the executable, no avail. If anyone has insight, and i guess a somewhat detailed tutorial how to do it, please help. Thanks

Is it possible to make it work on VITA? I'm using the Rebirth Mod Conversion Kit but it doesn't seem to work.

Okay so, I answered my own question.

For those who want to know, you don't need to convert the mod. You just have to copy/past the files in the game directories through the fpt client, but don't copy the music.xml, you will end up getting no music at all (maybe because it has been updated for afterbirth which isn't available on vita YET).

I Love it!

Rebirth Issue: Sometimes in floors a extra set of instruments plays to be a bit more fitting in tense rooms, Problem is, it plays on top of the music that's playing. This is most apparent in cellar and chest rooms. Please fix

I like both soundtracks but I prefer the vanilla one. gud mod thanks

Really cool

i love it it is cool man

This. Is. A. Godsend. This makes the game 10 times more enjoyable due to the music.

Original Isaac OST is the best!

Thank you so much!!!!

Even as someone who never played the original, I prefer the original's soundtrack and thanks to you I can enjoy it in Rebirth.

I do have one issue though, and that would be the guitar riff layer that occasionally plays. It's clearly meant for Rebirth's soundtrack so it sounds really out of place with the original's and I would like to know if it's possible to remove it.

seconding this

Awesome Job Man!

Claaaasic

i love this mod oh my goodness

How do I delete the mod?

You go into the resources folder of the game, and take out the files of the mod from there

I love sacrifice theme its so good

Thanks alot for making this Mod!
The new Music is okay, but nothing beats the Feeling you get from OG Isaacs soundtrack.

OMG!!! Thank you!!!

I always thought the original soundtrack had more flavor to it.

I LOVE IT
I ever wanted to play rebirth with the old classic music!

Nostalgia.

Yess. I love the old music!

Classic is the best

Hi, man. Icant understand how your mod work. It doesnt replace anything. How i can see the music file is music.a in isaaac\resources\packed. I ask u because your mod doesnt wor on my PC. Please HELP!!!!!!

this mod is on afterbirth?

Holy shit, thank you so much - this is really excellent. Only thing I occasionally miss about the original BOI over rebirth is the music.

Is there anyway to keep blue womb and hush theme?

its better than now

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH *O*

Can you make this music mod for the ps 3

sorry bud no mods for console

Can you make this music mod for the Xbox One???? ):

is that song of the older Isaac?
wow incrible!

Hi, I have a small problem. I installed the mode (put everything into resource folder + replacing Music.xml with the optional one BUT when I play the game I hear no music plox help

and yes I have Legit copy of The binding of Isaac on steam xD

I needed dis o/

YES This is the GrEATesT

My favorite mod of all!

I really need a video showing how to install this mod because how ever I try it doesn't work

Great mod!

Also, 1000th like

Really good !

Every single folder should be opened?

wait, but what about ultra greed? He has no counterpart. Also, is blue womb the it lives!/mom's heart theme? eh, time to play and find out!

Can someone please explain why I keep hearing an obnoxious guitar bit added to the songs? Was this intentional or did the creator actually think it sounds good?

As a longtime owner of the original Binding of Isaac, I have a soft spot for this music. I always found it as amazing music considering the circumstances within the game, Isaac is shooting tears to fight back from demonic creatures, and if that wasn't traumatizing enough for Isaac his mother nearly killed him. In short, I love the original soundtrack because of the memories in the old game, overall rate: 5/5

4 afterbirth?

This mod is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
No offense to the creator of Rebirth's music, as it's pretty great, but I love the original's music, even though I only played the demo. x3

Oh same here!

Ура!!!!

this is the best mod ever

Do you need wrath of the lamb to use it?

Wrath of the lamb is the DLC for the original game, if you're trying to ask if you need Afterbirth to use this mod, then yes, you do need it or the mod will cut all the music from the game...

how do you unpack the music.xml

Do you guys know if there's a way to make it so that the music that plays on each floor is random? What I mean is that I want it so that sometimes it plays Rebirth/Afterbirth music and sometimes it plays the original music.

Nostalgia...thank you so much..now new Isaac with old sounds and music

In my opinion musics with The Binding of Issac is beeter than musics with The Binding of Issac:Afterbirth

LOVE THIS

EPIC SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This has to be one of my favorite mods for Isaacs music. Good job.

great background music one of the best

so this mod only works for afterbirth? everytime i DL for rebirth it plays absolute silence in game and menu

This is the greatest B.o.I. mod to ever grace this fair planet. I love you so much.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!

Words cannot describe how much I've needed this.

Really cool

Thanks dude!

This is great!
Thanks!

is this afterbirth only because it doesn't work for me. I have rebirth.

Just amazing

I downloaded the mod and put it into my resource folder, extracted. I also downloaded the original sfx mod along with this. I ran the game and I can hear the sfx but no music. Help?

Is there any way to prevent the annoying guitar riff sound effects that play in rooms with lots of enemies? It sounds really terrible combined with this music.

this music doesn't play correctly in the depths for me

It plays the rebirth depths intro before it plays the old depths theme, which is kinda annoying

Followed the readme instructions (Which just told me to unpack certain things into my Binding of Isaac folder, so I doubt I got the instructions messed up) but it hasn't replaced any of the music. I've tested by starting a Greed Mode and Hard Mode run as Isaac (I also held R until I had seen all basement floor variants on the Hard Mode run, just to be sure. Not greed mode though, that music never changes iirc) Help please? Pretty please? Pretty please with some smiles on top?

No but seriously this is a problem and I want my fix of Danny B. Send help.

I fixed the problem myself after realizing the obvious problem. No, I didn't screw anything up. The readme actually caused the issue, it stated to just put the files in my Binding of Isaac: Rebirth folder, when you actually need to put it in the Resources folder that's INSIDE the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth folder. I tried to get another mod and noticed the discrepancy, so problem is all fixed now.

That being said, you should probably fix your readme file(s? I don't know if the optional readme is screwed up either, too lazy to go check.)

Good music always make game better.

This mod makes me SO happy. It's not that ridiculon didn't do a great job, but DB's soundtrack has a deep, immersive, and more hopeless and imposing sounding soundtrack. Thank you for bringing it back for us!

Needed this so much. I'M SO SORRY RIDICULON, ITS NOT YOU IT'S ME!

super nice

Memories... IT COMES BACK...

Now that's wot I call music 147!

Love this mod!

nice scheiße kappa

Hi! Thank you very much for this.
I use the optional xml to keep afterbirth's music, and I find it strange to have the old satan fight music played in the mega satan fight, as well as having the old isaac/blue baby music (My innermost apocalypse) played when fighting Hush, and having sheol music in the Dark Room but I have no idea if it's fixable, if the music is tied to a set of levels and bosses.

I also found a bug (I guess), I get the devil deal jingle played when clearing a room containing Death's Heads.

Again, thank you very much for this mod.

I found that too, it's just the fact that they have the music that plays when you pick up a Devil item in Afterbirth/Rebirth, the same as the one that happens when you kill a Death Head.

I frickin love the original game's ost. Makes everything less heavy imho.

The old Binding of Issac music was so much better then the old, and really and more of the vibe that i would expect from The Binding Of Issac!

thanks so much

this is awesome

Really like the music from the first game, wonderful mod!~

It doesn't work at all, no matter how many times I try.

it works great, but i have afterbirth so it doesn't work on the dlc levels
everything else works, and the satan boss fight is still jammin'

Does it have Wrath of the Lamb music?

oh wait i forgot

I loved the first one's music! I can't wait to use it!

Is it possible to only add certain songs into the game? I want just a few from the original but also want to keep most of Rebirth's

So glad this exists nice job

Is there a Rebirth version?

nice work

Oh, I love it!!

So, it is possible to make a mod where the music is shuffled. So it is random whether the Original theme plays or the Afterbirth theme. Thx

That would be awesome.

Does Any One Else Think The Classic Is Better?

You don't have to capitalize the first letter of every word.

I have unpacked all the required files in Rebirth's root folder but it doesn't work. I still have Rebirth's music on all levels (I am playing with Afterbirth). Any idea what I might be doing wrong ?

I've got it. The files must be placed inside the resources folder, which is not mentionned in the readme.

This crashes my game every time i try to start a new run.

Finally I found It !

this shouldn't even be a mod. this should be something you can turn on or off in the options without the download of a mod

Well, IIRC Danny Baranowsky doesnt allows his soundtracks to be used without his permission, and he didnt worked in Rebirth/Afterbirth, so Edmund & Tyrone dont have legal permission to use his songs.

nice work

Sorry if this annoys anybody, but I tried and tried looking onto how to unpack a .xml folder and I don't know how. I looked all around YouTube but couldn't find any videos, can anyone help me with a step-by-step process or send me a link on how to unpack an .xml file? Thanks in advance!

Internet Explorer
Notepad
Notepad++

By "unpack" he just means extract from the .zip archive. I extracted all files to the root directory (then deleted the optional folder) and then extracted all files to the resources directory (and again deleted the optional folder). That worked for me. Hope this helps!

It's certainly nice to hear the classic tunes again.

You are a God disguised as a man

i like it cool

is there way to turn off the echo of the music of the rebirth music?????

Sweet!

Cool ^^

God bless. Rebirth's OST pales compared to Vanilla Isaac's. Thank you for bringing Danny's music into the game ^^

The only thing the game was missing was the music.

Now that it's fixed with this mod, Rebirth is now an official 10/10.

It is for some odd reason not working. When I play the game I hear only silence

I am having the same issue.

Nevermind.

What did you do? mine's still silence.

I need help this is not working

Is there a mod that randomizes music based on floor, so the basement floors all get a random music based on a pool of songs? is that even possible in the capabilities we have?

It's good to hear good, old Isaac OST :>

Nice mod becauce i love classic music

I love the old music

Does it require Afterbirth?

Yep

Can I use this in a mod pack? Credit will be given

This mod remind me to the Vanilla isaac! GG!

Very very good; The new music sets a good tone, but the old music was just plain GOOD.

Mod won't download; sends me too a blank, white page with nothing on it.

Well, It was able to download but now I am getting the error: Can not open (this file name) as archive. Any ideas?

Got into the archive and extracted the zip files into the resource folder but no music played at all. Anyone else had this problem (and fixed it)?

Got into the archive and extracted the zip files into the resource folder but no music played at all. Anyone else had this problem (and fixed it)?

This is a great mod! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much!

It's GREAAAAAT!! Nothing could replace the original OST!

This is a great mod that does exactly what it says, but I do have a bugs:

-It seemed to have slightly messed with graphics; pickup animations turn me invisible (though that may be because of another mod I have)
-In Necropolis, sometimes the "You just took a devil deal" music will play upon finishing a room.

1.This mod does not touch the graphics at all. It must be another mod.
2.This happens when you clear a room with Death's Heads. They use the same sound as taking an item in a devil deal. There is nothing I can do about this. If you want to get rid of this then delete the sfx folder that came with this mod. But keep in mind that this will also return the devil deal sound back to normal.

i loved the old game music and now afterbirth music with this plz plz yes yes.

so very great.... cant keep it so much COOL STUFF

best mod
