Is there a way to add Easter Egg Songs in a Doom wad?

[Chomperknight]

I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty Zombies lately and one of the things they have is easter egg songs like you interact with 3 certain objects and once you interact with the 3rd object, a map's easter egg song would play. I'm wondering if you could do something similar to that in a Doom 2 wad, if so, how to do it?

I think you can do that using MUSINFO if you're mapping using the Doom format, and it's supported by some modern ports like Prboom+.

You can also use ACS, it has more flexibility when it comes to changing music, although I'm not experienced in ACS to know how.

MusicChanger is also needed^(?) by being used in a DECORATE lump (correct me if I'm wrong on this).

You do not need to include MusicChanger in a Decorate lump, in fact you are best off not including it, as it will not do anything in PrBoom+ and similar non-zdoom based ports, that don't support DECORATE to begin with. And for ZDoom based ports that do support Decorate, including that definition is still a bad idea and unnecessary as it is a built-in class that is always loaded, and including it with your mod's decorate could lead to problems and at best do nothing for it at all.
