IIRC, you will find a music.txt file in the assets/sound folder, which contains references to music pieces stored in the file sfcmusic.zip in the same folder. the filestructure describes which portion of music is played in what game sitution. So, all you have to do*, is to include your musics in the zip and modify the music.txt to play always your files by replaceing the previous references stored there. take care to match the soundformat used in the sfcmusic.zip when inserting your files, or the game will not be able to play them (yes, you have save your music in the format sfc uses there).

(* Sounds easy, doesn't it? A quick look in the music.txt file will show you, why there are so many Music-Mods around... Good luck anyway. )

MenuF2b.i4x ??? I have no such File / Reference / Link / Message / Apple / Ghost anywhere...

No idea where you found that!

The Entrys found in the music.txt-file refer to those wav-files found in the sfcmusic.zip and have normaly a format like
XXX_X#(.wav) or XXX_XX#(.wav) ... ok, there are some exceptions.

The Musics are normaly broken into smaller Soundtracks to allow a Start-Track, Loop-Track, End-Track and for the Battlemusics, various complex arrangements depending on who engages who on the battlefield.

Sure would be nice if someone designed a "Wrath of Khan" sound file format for OP.  Star Trek 2 and 3 had probably the best music I think for Starship combat in Star Trek.

 Actually, the best way is not to change either.  Find the sequence that you want to replace in the SFCMusic.zip. Then name your replacement file the same and add to the zip file with compression set to "none". Take off  any "read only" properties so your new file will replace the old. Also make sure your sample rate is the same as the original (22,050Hz).
I have my fed music from wrath of khan replacing Fdt_a1.wav and Fdt_a2.wav.
Klingon theme replaces Klt_a1.wav  First contact replacing Mnu_a1.wav at the selection screen,etc.etc.

I find this much easier than editing all the loop combinations in the music.txt file.
