Issue: Activating a mission acceleration gate overrides your currently playing song on the in-game jukebox. There is no option to disable this functionality other than not using the jukebox.

Proposal: Allow mission acceleration gate music to be optional so that those who use the jukebox functionality are not interrupted by music they may have no interest in listening to. This could be accomplished by adding either a configuration option in the Audio configuration menu or a checkbox on the jukebox itself.

Unacceptable solutions: Encouraging the use of external players to avoid gate-activated music changes defeats the purpose of the jukebox and the playlist featureset it supports.

I like the idea of making it a simple toggle on-off option somewhere. I love the Eve Soundtrack, I do; I even have all the combat tracks in a separate playlist so I can play them all day if I wanted to! However, I do find it frustrating when I'm in the middle of a good one and hitting an acceleration gate will swap it out.

I'm a big audiophile, so having my buzz killed by swapping out a good song by an acceleration gate makes me sad cat.
