Server-Music
From TrackmaniaServer Wiki
Your server can play music. You can add links to music files that should be played. Please note that this feature is available only if you purchased the addon MUSIC for your account.

Which music am I allowed to play on my server?
You can add every music where you have the permission for publishing. This can be your self created music, or music where the author allowed the publishing of his tracks. TrackmaniaServer.org will check the files in regular terms.
Filetype OGG
Every music file must be in OGG-Format. You can find tons of converting software on the web. Click here to start searching for a converter
Uploading the music
You must upload the files to your own webspace. If you do not have own webspace, you can browse google for free file hosters. Note! Filehosters like Rapidshare/Upload.to/... won't work, because you can not access the files directly! Choose a provider where you have FTP-Access and a regular webspace. Check out http://www.funpic.de for example. After uploading the OGG-Files, go to the Admin-Panel and click the "Music"-Tab. There you can enter the URLs to the files. Then restart your server. Attention: All files must be located on one server, in one directory!
A good link could be: http://www.mydomain.com/directory/music.ogg Avoid whitspaces and special chars in the URL.
It may take some time until the music gets played, because the clients have to download the files. This depends on the FileSize.
READ THIS
One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare, Uploaded.to, 4shared... will NOT work, because the files are not direct accessible from the net. Hit the Test-Button behind each Music-File (a player must open that starts playing the song immediately!).
