I get this error whenever I run Morrowind: Music Error: Can not play file. Data Files/Music/Special/morrowind title.mp3 I am running wine version 1.1.9 on Fedora 9.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I can suggest a few starters for ten
Firstly, using Linux rather than Wine, does that file exist on your system? If so, where? Is it in the right place?
Secondly, using Linux, if you click the file, does it play?
If so, are you running from a desktop icon or from a terminal and are you cd'ing to the Morrowind directory before you run Morrowind?
Do you get the Morrowind splash screen or does the music error happen before that?
This should break the problem down and provide a few clues as to where to look next.

Yes the file is in the correct spot.
Yes I can play the music file when I click on it.
I have tried running it from the desktop icon, I have run from the terminal, I went to the folder and clicked on the executables in there and still get the same error. When I run from the terminal I cd into the directory. I have also tried it without cding into the directory and I still get that error.
When I runs it loads the morrowind.esm file and then initializes everything. After it initializes everything it switches screens and that is when I get the error.
Is there anything else that is needed?

You could try looking through the thread linked below. Down at point 17, there is a question about music in Morrowind not playing - and a solution. Whether it works, I cannot say. I do not think I needed to do that when I loaded Morrowind but its worth a try

Help
How did that help you. I am struggling with the same issue and that 'how to' didn't help me even though i followed the steps. Not all of them, but most of the important ones. Please help. I repeat: same issue "Music Error: Can not play file. Data Files/Music/Special/morrowind title.mp3" whenever i start the game, after everything has been loaded. Please help.
