Is there any way to turn off the music?  I tried deleting the .ini file, but the game wouldn't initialize.

Comment out #include "music.ini" or #include "musicmp3.ini" (whichever of the two isn't commented out) in your doomrl.ini - should do the trick.

Better look at lines 39/40 in DoomRL.ini
Code: [Select]
// Setting to FALSE will turn off music during gameplay
Music            = TRUE;
Obvious I suppose.

It's alright, not many people would think of editing any configuration files by hand.  Maybe this can be a feature request?  Like some menu-based launcher option akin to the old Doom/Doom II games that were used for Deathmatch option spamming?

I don't think the ini isn't edited that much. Once people have set it up (which is usually just some minor changes, such as just turning the music off coincidentially also in my case) people don't really bother about it anymore I think.
Maybe it's just not worth the trouble to make an ingame interface for it really.

I'm late on answering this, but if you only want to turn off the music temporarily (perhaps on a whim), using SHIFT-0 (or the ")" key) will remove it. Sound is similarly toggleable using SHIFT-9 (or the "(" key). Both of these only work during the game, mind you, though I doubt this is much of a concern.
