What can I do to fix this?

PSX version doesn't have all the game music, since the PSX cutscenes are embedded video/audio.

Just put both the old music and the new music all in the SOUND folder. OpenXcom will automatically pick OGG over the older MID, so you don't need to delete the old music.

I just did that, but the new music isn't playing, I think I will download the mp3 version and try it first.

EDIT: It seems it was a problem with the OGG file, because it plays fine with the MP3, thank you!

I have completed the site i have planned.

So, for all those of you, who have problems with music, and who wants midi playback (converted to ogg) balanced and reliable, i recommend this:
Music & Sound Effects Collection site for OpenXcom (https://xcom-sounds.atw.hu/)

Thanks I used the first link on the list, hopefully that's the right one. I don't really understand most of the words and phrases in that site, so I hope it worked.

It depends on what you want.

I would like the Vanilla music from X-COM Collector's Edition. I have that one.

I got this one from your site: "MIDI-AweROMGM.zip" I don't know which game version it is, but I didn't like the flutes suddenly playing one of the tracks. Please tell me which one to get if I'd like the CE version. Thanks for your help Fenyo

The version of "MIDI-AweROMGM.zip" is Windows CE. As ALL of the MIDI related files. But as you may well know, the MIDI is just a bunch of notations. The actual playback of a .MID file depends on what Sound-Effects (SoundFont) is used for the playback.
"MIDI-AweROMGM.zip" is a rendered (converted) file, it does not contain .MID files, it contains .OGG files.
And if you listen it, it will sound very similar if you would play the original .MID files with a Sound Blaster AWE32 SoundCard. (because i used "AweROMGM" SoundFont for the conversion)
