cue files are intended for Quake's expansion packs. NOTE: To play the main campaign you'll only need to mount the game.cue file. cue files that come with the game before playing and the soundtrack should work!

A common piece of such software is Daemon Tools, however I personally prefer WinCDEmu since it's open-source. If you have the GOG version, you'll need some virtual drive software that can mount bin/cue files. If you have a Quake CD, just put it in your disc drive. The main problems with this method are that the copy of the soundtrack that you obtained might not be of the best possible quality, and it might not have been de-emphasized resulting in it sounding distorted. I'm not going to post any download links here since I'm not sure whether it's allowed, but it shouldn't be too hard to find one.

ogg format files in the 'MUSIC' folder within the game's install directory. In addition to this, the default Quake engine also supports playing music from.

Quake was originally meant to play the soundtrack from the game CD, which would've been in the disc drive during play. The answer is that yes, it does, and while it's a bit of a pain you can get it working without downloading anything/installing custom engines etc. While it may work with the Steam version too, I have no idea if it does, because I don't have it! Some methods might work with custom engines/source ports, but you should make sure to read their documentation first.Ī while ago I made a post asking whether the version of Quake on GOG contains the soundtrack, and got conflicting answers. NOTE: The following has only been tested to work with the GOG version of Quake.
