The music is often taken from other sources: Whenever a player builds a Wonder of the World, a short video with music is played. The five different releases of Civilization II have added and subtracted tracks from the mix, with Fantastic Worlds containing the largest number of tracks of all releases. Over 200 MB of space on the Civilization II CD is taken up by the music, 280 MB is occupied by the videos (many of them are historical footages), whereas the actual program data takes up less than 30 MB. The music can be played back through any CD-ROM drive. The songs are quite varied some are from the 19th century classical era, such as the Blue Danube Waltz, while others have a tribal, tropical sound to them. Civilization II's music is in the Red Book CD-audio format, the same as that found on normal music CDs.
