This is a f*c­king fantastic idea! Could maybe do it with a structure. It doesn't even have to play custom music, just select some presets. Even if there are only 2, it's still great.

Also, this can be monetized to hell and back. 100 PLEX for custom music, pretty sure someone would go for that. Aurum for music packs with different themes. Basically like skins but for the ear, not the eye.

TL;DR:

Sov owners anchor music structure that replaces the gloomy 0.0 ambiance with the same music as Dodixe, but in Delve. No structure = default gloomy ambiance.

I'd have to take sov in a system for the sole purpose of having "sunshine lollipops and rainbows" and "foggy mountain breakdown", perhaps some polka and venga boys. Then see how long I can hold that sov.

Use the force without consent and the court wont acquit you even if you are a card carryin', robe wearin' Jedi.

This^^
is why I say no to this idea.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Copyright would quickly become an issue if custom music was a thing, but EVE music would be a great addition. I'd think it'd be a feature of TCUs or maybe IHUBs, rather than a structure in it's own right.

+1....

I don't think I ever listened to the EVE music once I left hisec... and the few times I did it was a keening that set my nerves on edge (probably because I checked in a wormhole).

I really enjoyed the hi-sec space music when I first started the game, and if I popped into a random system and heard it again... well I might just keep coming back to that system >:)

Great idea but most people don't have audio turned on for most of the game since it is a waste of time as the only in game music is trigger only in pve. If said game music could play more than only in pve maybe there would be a reason for this to exist but otherwise it's a waste of time and money on part of the devs.

You lost us at, "Gem from reddit".

Might want to start with a more credible opening line.

Oh and -1, cuz d-bags.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

Apart from the copyright issues, TTP pretty much rules out custom music from out-of-game sources. I was already wondering how long it would take someone to record "penis, penis, penis..." Ad infinitum.

Allowing sov owners to choose the in-game music for their system could work. I play Eve with sounds on, but music off, so I can hear my corpmates. The only time I have the music on is if I am solo.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
