Because the game uses CD audio you can actually just put the CD into your CD player to listen to it.
A few of these were slightly remixed and then eventually saw the light of the day as full CD quality on the Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome (W32) CD. The MIDI versions of the tracks were composed in Cakewalk. There were more songs produced for the game than what could fit on the CD, and as such some of the tracks that didn't fit on the CD were used in the separate MIDI track which was used if you didn't have the game CD inserted in your CD drive. For the creation of the music, a Boss DSS-330 synthesizer and an E-mu ESI-32 sampler were used and the mixing and editing was done in SoundForge. The music has a lovely ancient sound capitalizing on old instruments like drums and wood winds.
