So I took a gander at the Steam folder and apparently the music stored in a file called BGM.xwb
Which is similar to what was done with Terraria. If my theory is correct and the same thing applies to KOF'98 UMFE as it did with Terraria.
One can say for example extract the this archive and replace the OST with AST versions, or even your own custom soundtrack if you prefer.
I'm just saying if anyone has a desire to change the default soundtrack instead of the NeoGeo AES stuff, there may be a way to change it.
I don't know if this guide is at all relevant but it's worth a shot. I'm going to try it out, worse thing can happen is I mess up my KOF98UMFE install and I just delete and redownload it.

In any case once I figure out how this works, if I'm successful, I'll let you all know it works.
Just wanted to say I'm really interested in your findings and if you can get the AST to work.
