Loading and Playing Songpacks

Getting a Songpack

Assuming you've got everything installed correctly, now it's time to get to the best part. The music.

Of course, you'll need a songpack. You can find a list of them here, or make your own.

Launching minecraft once will generate a Songpacks folder in .minecraft/ActualMusic If you hadn't guessed by now, you'll need to put the unzipped songpack in this directory.

The final file layout should look similar to this.

Loading the Songpack In-Game

In minecraft, you'll need to bind a hotkey in controls to open the AM interface. Once you've done so, hop in-game, and press this key to open the interface.

On this newly opened interface, head into Settings > Songpacks, find the songpack you've installed and click select. The button will now transform into a handy refresh button, which allows you to reload the songpack at any time.
