Go to the map you want to have a custom mp3 override on:
"..\Documents\my games\Distance\Levels\WorkshopLevels\USERID\"

If the map name is "foo" then the map file is "foo.bytes" and the thumbnail is "foo.bytes.png" - just paste the mp3 you want and name it "foo.bytes.mp3"

Ok, but i was thinking that the actual track's song would change across everyone who downloads it. Not just me changing it for myself. Is there a way for that?

Nope! Workshop architecture weirdness and the obvious legal challenges make it a bit infeasible, among other things (if I recall correctly). But maybe someday we'll see that feature put in...maybe when Wwise actually supports Mac and Linux with its MP3 importer, haha.

Ok, thanks for letting me know :)

And that's what i hate about how copyright works atm, creating edm is almost second nature to me and i'm really really willing to accompany some of my workshop items with awesome free quality music, made almost on the fly.

But of course theoretically distance would have to verify that my music was indeed "legit" as free music, and that not even 5 seconds of it sounds like something that already exists, so no one get's into trouble when it may get popular, and someone big decides he is losing money on those 5 seconds.

If it ever would be implemented, i hope you guys will use soundcloud (if it even exists anymore at that time), or something similar to at least get around the legal stuff.

well.... i found that it is possible to add "custom music" to a workshop item.... but only of you create the music WITH the editor :P

So this is the road we're going down I guess

LOL, but yeah... that is kind of how i got it to work! except that in distance you don't have to bump into stuff :P
just imagine that on a regular sprint, where every route is also a different tune (and of course TB route gets the worst noises and no "kill all voices" triggers).
