DirectSong
From Guild Wars Wiki
DirectSong is a service partnered with ArenaNet that allows players to purchase soundtracks composed by Jeremy Soule for various games, including soundtracks for each Guild Wars release, as well as various minipacks and unlockable bonus music. When DirectSong music is playing in the game, the DirectSong icon in the Options panel will light up.

[edit] Notes
- When the Sorrow's Furnace update came out, the associated music was only available via DirectSong, though it was offered for free.
- DirectSong's music is available as WMA files (protected through DRM) or as DRM-free MP3. Only the WMA version will work in-game.
- After downloading the music packs, the user should make sure to have the latest
GuildWars.dsfile in the DirectSong storage directory. This file contains the playlist to be used by the game; using an older version of the file will prevent newer music from being played ingame. The latest version can also be downloaded from here
