OutRun 2006 PC Custom Soundtrack mod

Or, the closest thing to a Girls und Panzer OutRun mod I'm likely to see. Or, to pun it up, Girls und Vetturi.
This idea popped into my head this afternoon, and was partially inspired by the many GuP World of Tanks mods, one of which uses the track featured (the instrumental of Yukari Akiyama's image song, "Senshado Koi Uta!"). It's actually very easy to do, and requires only three things:
1) some source music;
2) a copy of Audacity
3) that you sacrifice some of the original music. Let's face it, Outrun 2006 has a crapload of music, and some of it is, frankly, a load of crap. You'll have something you can sacrifice.
Got all of these? Good, let's begin.
Outrun 2006 has its music stored as a series of OGG files, which you'll find in your /path/to/your/OutRun2006 Coast 2 Coast/Sound folder. They come in two flavours: the first, nn_TITLE.ogg, is the full track; the second, SEL_nn_TITLE.ogg, is the short form used in menus to preview your selection.
Pick a track you won't miss. I went for "Life Was A Bore" (07_Life_was_a_Bore.ogg), a confusing ballad that I'd miss like a hole in the head. It also has the distinction of being near ubiquitous in the soundtrack, so you can use it in the OutRun2SP mode. Rename your selected track, just so you have a backup.
Now open your replacement in Audacity. As soon as it's opened, simply export it as an OGG file. Just remember to name it whatever the track you're replacing was originally named (so, using my example, 07_Life_was_a_Bore.ogg).
Finally, copy the new file to your OR2K6 Sound folder.
You can optionally repeat the process for the SEL version of the track, just for fit and finish. I haven't done this yet; I'm just after proof of concept right now.
You can now fire up your OR2K6 install, knowing that your Beautiful Journey just got that little bit more awesome.
Future plans? Do the SEL track, and swap out some more painful tracks with better ones. For added headfuck, I could replace Night Bird with the PSG version of Color Ocean from OutRun 3D... and it would probably be a vast improvement.

Hi!!! I did this hack today before watch your video, and is a really easy trick to do. I don't like the "classic 16bit songs", and replaced with Top Gear 2 songs and some NFSMW and Burnout Dominator songs. This is AMAZING!!!

Where did you get the outrun mods from?

Search is your friend on that one. I'd try Nyaa. The mod is simply the new music track. It's proof of concept - any audio file will work if you can convert it to OGG. The trick is fooling it into loading it like any other resource, hence naming it like an existing one.
