Make a backup of your files beforehand, I suggest starting with a clean installation - you can also use Galaxy to "Manage Installation" and "Verify / Repair", otherwise read on!
Quake 1
Download QuakeSpasm (quakespasm-0.94.4_win64.zip)
webpage
file download
Open the "quakespasm-0.94.4_win64.zip" file and extract the contents of the inside folder to your Quake installation folder. (Overwrite any files if prompted.)
Download Quake 1 Music * (see notes at the bottom)
MEGA
Google Drive
Create "music" subfolders as follows, and unpack the .flac files to their appropriate folder:
id1\music <sndtrk_q1.zip>
hipnotic\music <sndtrk_q1_exp1.zip>
rogue\music <sndtrk_q1_exp2.zip>
Go back into your main Quake folder:
Rename the file "Glquake.exe" to "Glquake.exe.bak"
Rename the file "quakespasm.exe" to "Glquake.exe"
You may now use your Quake shortcuts, or Galaxy to launch your game of choice.
Run each game/expansion and setup your controls and video, check if the music plays. Have fun!

* These are lossless "accurate rip" flac files. Note: I am not convinced that Quake 1 has "pre-emphasis", so I have left the files exactly as they are on my retail disc. But for the sake of completion, I have included both SoX and iTunes de-emphasized copies of my original rip, those files can be found below:
** These are the highest quality .ogg files (Quality 10). They are sourced from "accurate rip" flac files. They are higher quality than the .ogg files provided by GOG, and I have included "The Reckoning" files as well. I also fixed that small mastering error pop/click at the beginning of the "Operation Overlord" (AKA Quake 2 Track 02, and The Reckoning Track 07)
Extra files: Q1 de-emphasised, Q2 flac (unsupported), and Operation Overlord pre-fix.
