Preparation

1. To begin with, you need to have the music itself on the deck, and I will additionally emphasize that it DOESN'T matter where exactly, you can even throw it on a memory card


2. Next, turn on the "show hidden files" option, this is necessary in order to get to the music folder from which the game pulls the same music

Let's throw music into the game

1. First, go to Home and find the .local folder

And we go directly to the music folder for the game (home/.local/share/American Truck Simulator/music)

Great, you're halfway there 2. Now go to the folder with our music and call the context menu with the right mouse button (or RT) and select "Copy Location"
3. Return to the music folder we entered earlier, call up the context menu on an empty space and select "Create New -> Link to File or Directory...

The Create Symlink window will appear, in the LOWER column we insert the path to the folder with our music that we copied earlier, there is no need to touch the first column - the name will fit there by itself as soon as we insert the path
That's it, a shortcut should have been created, close everything and enter the game, if you did everything correctly, all our music should have appeared in the player

My English is poor, there may be many errors in the instructions, if anyone is ready to put things in order in the text, a vacancy for a contributor is open.
