I am now offering replacement music files for those that are interested in listening to something other than the default stuff that Square Enix has in the game. All the files are already converted to .bgw format, all you have to do is download the files and throw them into the appropriate directories in your FFXI installation folder, replacing the default ones. I have seperated the ones that go into sound and the ones that go into sound2 into folders named in the same fashion. I highly recommend you copy your old default music and stick it into a seperate folder before you overwrite them with my replacements, just in case. I've done that myself.
Downloads are capped at 5 KB/sec because I'd like to have some bandwidth to be able to still play my game, and only three people can log in at a time. Not all music has been replaced... just a good majority of it that plays a lot.
What songs are featured? I threw in two of Final Fantasy X's battle themes for good measure, and used the music from Luca for Jueno (seemed fitting), but the rest is more or less a surprise. Those of you who despise the chocobo theme will probably love the song I put in to replace it... music212.bgw is the file you'd want, since I saw another thread earlier with complaints about that song. I also combined three very good tunes into one file to replace the boat music, which makes a perfect fit at 15 minutes, but kind of large in file size at 45 megs. Definitely superior to the default stuff though... music106.bgw if anyone's interested in that.
If you want only specific songs replaced with one of my altered tunes such as the above examples, hit GameFAQs and check out the music hacking guide for details on which file is what song.
Without further delay, using an FTP client like WS-FTP LE 5.08:

Everything is case sensitive, all the information must be correct. Port 21 is default for FTPing, so make sure you change it to 500 when trying to connect. If you do not, you will get a failure message every time.
Oh... and don't hammer my server. You'll be banned on the spot. Again, only three people allowed on at a time... max download speed is 5 KB/sec. I recommend downloading during your off-play hours, personally.
Enjoy.

Getting them now, and looking forward to some good tunes.
