Up until Freedom, it was a simple command line option to choose the Hero, Villain, or Praetorian theme at start up. This set, not only the music, but also the color scheme and login screen, and character collection screen background. Once you selected a character, it would, of course, switch to the appropriate color scheme and artwork.
With the release of Freedom, that flag was deprecated and everyone has the same login screen and character selection screen unless you have done something to customize them. Technically speaking, that's not really something is supported or encouraged by NCSoft/Paragon. Mainly because the development of the methods for doing it required reverse engineering the compression used in the game files, which is proprietary. That reverse engineering is a clear violation of the EULA. Last I heard, the developers still frown on the use of PIGG viewers and similar utilities.

I am somewhat in the same boat of not liking the login screen music. The problem is, changing it requires doing some things that the developers frown on; we're not supposed to go looking inside the game files to figure out where things are.
The closest anyone can give you without breaking rules is what's outlined in this thread:

Thought for the day:
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

Okay, sooo maybe it's because I haven't been around as long, but I'm not a big fan of the music when I log-in. I much prefer the original and was wondering if there's any way to swap the two? I know other games it's a simple .ini edit, but I couldn't find it.
It's not a deal breaker just...it's meh.
EDIT: It dawned on me, I should probably mention that the INI edits were considered okay by their respective companies. I want to do this without breaking any rules.
