How do you disable songs?
The description mentions song disabling. But turning off all 4 seasons, causes all 4 to re-activate. Peace/War/Day/Night options don't seem to have a disable option either. The comments section is confused.

Is this a bug and the 4 seasons should be able to be all turned off? Or is there some other way to disable songs?

I've also been unable to figure this one out :(

I am here searching for the answer as well.

The only way I have been able to "disable" songs with the in game GUI is to change the seasons to a permanent season that is not possible on the current map I am playing.
You do this easily by disabling 3 seasons to leave only summer or winter enabled, which the mod views as the permanent versions of those items.
This does mean that your music settings will play them if you end up on that map type though, you can further reduce the songs chance of playing by setting it as only night or day versions and for raids/peace only depending on what you are doing.

It would be nice if a simple "disable" button were added, or maybe just a tooltip to show that mod added which music in order to go in there and delete the song or move the song to another folder where rimworld cannot see it.
I am pretty convinced that you don't. I've checked every comment on this page several times, asked myself almost two years ago, every time Fluffy has addressed comments he ignores anyone asking this question. No one's found out how to do this properly with this mod. Someone suggested editing the defs of music mods to find the tracks you want to disable, and commenting them out. But that's entirely separate from this mod.

Might be interesting info to share though? Considering this is "probably" the most popular music "management" mod and often recommended by other mods adding music, yet it doesn't come with such basic functionality as just disabling a song lol. Having an option to do it ourselves, would be handy.
Right, sorry. This is from a comment by Cato, currently have not tried this, cannot get the game to load since the update.

"A manual work around to disable individual tracks is:

- Use this mod to identify track name
- Search the filename within: \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100
- Now you know where it is, go to that mod's /def folder.
- Edit the SongDefs.xml with notepad. Remove the offending songs entry listing."

You can find the mod name by looking at the URL of a mod on Workshop, then looking for the folder with that same number.

Hey, so imma just pop in to say that as far as I know, this is still an issue. I want to make it so vanilla music never plays, but that is just not possible with the way the mod works atm. Please fix instead of just ignoring it author person. Thanks.
