!!!!EDIT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
WELL HERE IS A QUICK RUN DOWN OF HOW TO CHANGE IT. (THIS TAKES PATIENCE)
1- OPEN EPIC PWI INSTALLED FOLDER WHERE EVER YOU SAVE THE GAME TO
2- OPEN ELEMENT> MUSIC
3- NOW YOU WILL WANT TO OPEN A MUSIC PLAYER AND DO A RUN DOWN OF ALL THE SONGS (SOME OF THESE SONGS ARE SUPER RARE AND ONLY PLAY IN CERTAIN INSTANCES.
4- NOW GO TO YOU DESKTOP AND MAKE A NEW FOLDER NAME IS WHATEVER U LIKE
5-THEN YOU FIND WHATEVER MUSIC YOU LIKE OR YOU THINK WOULD SOUND GOOD IN THE GAMES LOCATION LINEUP, COPY THE MUSIC FILES YOU WANT AND PAST TO YOUR NEW FOLDER (MAKE SURE YOUR COPYING THE MUSIC SO YOU WONT LOSE YOUR ORIGINAL SONG INFO)
6- NOW COPY ALL THE SONGS YOU WANT TO REPLACE FROM EPW OR PWI TO THE NEW FOLDER AS WELL
7-NOW YOU WILL WANT TO SET YOU NEW FOLDERS VIEW SETTING TO "Details" (the top to bottom list with category and album artist info showing.)

9- THEN MANUALLY OPEN PROPERTIES OF EVERY NEW SONG AND OLD SONGS (1 AT A TIME FOR MANAGEMENT SAKES) [you may want to shrink down the windows to a side by side so they dont cover each other up by clicking on one or another. NOW MOVE TO THE DETAILS TAB OF YOUR NEW AND OLD SONG
10- !!!A MUST!!! YOU NEED TO RENAME YOU NEW SONG TO THE SAME THING AS THE OLD SONG (windows will ask what to do about the file with the same name just accept it.) (copy and past will work best for songs that are not translated to english.)
11- !!!A MUST!!! NOW YOU NEED TO DUPLICATE ALL THE SONG INFO FROM THE OLD SONG TO THE ONE YOU WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH, YOU BASICLY MAKING THE GAME THINK ITS PLAYING THE SAME SONG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

I've had most success doing this to theme songs on the login screens. but the cities and stuff can be done to. IF YOU CAN'T GET IT TO WORK THEN YOUR NOT FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTIONS.
