+The enclosed sounds folder holds the sound files used as the title music for the game. OGG and WAV are supported.
+
+Using unnecessarily huge sounds can cause client side lag and should be avoided.
+
+You may add as many title sounds as you like, if there is more than one a random screen is chosen (see name conventions for specifics).
+
+---
+
+Naming Conventions:
+
+Every title sound you add must have a unique name. It is allowed to name two things the same if they have different file types, but this should be discouraged.
+Avoid using the plus sign "+" and the period "." in names, as these are used internally to classify sounds.
+
+
+Common Title Sounds:
+
+Common sounds are in the rotation to be displayed all the time. Any name that does not include the character "+" is considered a common sound.
+
+An example of a common sound name is "clown".
+
+
+Map Title Sounds:
+
+Map sounds are tied to a specific in game map. To make a map title you format the name like this "(name of a map)+(name of your sound)"
+
+The spelling of the map name is important. It must match exactly the define MAP_NAME found in the relevant .DM file in the /_maps folder in 
+the root directory. It can also be seen in game in the status menu. Note that there are no spaces between the two names.
+
+It is absolutely fine to have more than one sound tied to the same map. It's also fine to have a rare map sound.
+
+An example of a map sound name is "Omegastation+splash".
+
+
+Rare Title Sounds:
+
+Rare title sounds are a just for fun feature where they will only have a 1% chance of appear in in the title sound pool of a given round.
+Add the phrase "rare+" to the beginning of the name. Again note there are no spaces.
+
+An example of a rare sound name is "rare+explosion"
