Forget forever about jukebox. Waste of developers time and resources.
Just use external music player of your choice. Better and dedicated.
Use Alt-B and web interface like http://www.winamp.com/plugin/winamp-web-interface/92511 .
Just google for same functionality in other players.

What we've pointed out is that using an external music player isnt an option we want.

The functionality is there - for reasons beyond just having the JukeBox exist, we want to choose when to listen to music and when not to beyond a slider control - to chose what songs to listen to and not to be forced to listen song chosen by the client. To upload songs to the player and immerse yourself into the game - which is what this game is for.

+1 @ Jukebox


Either bring it back or add a new one. Say by default it runs the new music system, but you can turn off music in settings and bring up an in-game jukebox if you want; if there are coding problems as to why it was removed. I'm not a newbie, there are just songs I don't want to listen to any longer (not so good ones), as well as other songs to add, and I need to control it without leaving the client or fooling with the in-game browser.

I'm in it for the money

I always find it hilarious how many people say that the jukebox's death is "freeing up development time" - its loss is not. Infact, I think it took longer for the programmer to find the code and comment it out (as no code is ever truly deleted. Why do you think game sizes have increased massively over the years?) than it has had real time spent on it. Coding up a new jukebox would be the time taker.

I've mentioned this before - SoundCloud is not a viable alternative to an in-game jukebox, neither is having a 3rd Party media player.


+1 for Jukebox return.

+1 i like to play my music from in game...



I don' t want to alt_tab all the time... while your at it take away the in game browser or the calculator as well so i can alt-tab some more....

I don't get how every patch that they add to the game that has so many good improvments.. there is always 1-2 things they do that is totally ********.. like taking out something so simple as the jukebox...

Some times i listen to the standard eve music.. and some times i want to listen to what i want to listen to.. and before i had playlists to do it with a simple in game click that i could do even in the middle of PVP with out having to worry even.

Now i have to alt tab into winamp... which takes up more system resources then EVE does.

Not that i dont love winamp i use it all the time as well.. but i prefer to use it out of game not with the game.

BTW, as I said, I just got back to eve so I'm a bit behind on the news. Is there an official statement somewhere as to why the jukebox was removed?

CCP wanted to introduce 'contextual soundscapes' which is a fancy way of saying that when X happens, the music changes to one of a number of preselected tracks. Amusingly, we already had this with jukebox, and people hated it because it would interrupt their jukebox music. So they removed jukebox.

GENIUS!

I agree too. Miners Stories makes me rembere of my first day of eve and nothing can replace that feeling and that song starting up the isntant moment when you log into your char. There's nothing to be said since Dark has already made his (and ours) points. Brink the jukebox back with new sounds. Straight

how to kill a thread,

step one, laugh at it. *AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
step two, post a reasonable link, and proof on why something had to be removed
http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=73569 step two finished
step three, make a mental note of all those that keep posting after this post about attempting to bring said object back into the game about how they can't read.

commonly suggest cloaking and local ideas

There's no reason to laugh, as CCP said they wanted feedback on their new sound system (although they were probably looking for more constructive feedback than 'bing back my jukebox dammit!').

Anyway, having reread the reasons behind their choice I feel more inclined to agree than disagree with the removal of the jukebox. I accept that it requires maintenance like any other system, and that there are better mp3 players available to the masses than CCP's own jukebox. Arguing that it ruins the mood by having to switch windows sounds more like laziness to me than anything else. Download the songs and make a playlist. Easy. By the way - is there a bulk download for all mp3 files somewhere?

The only issue I have experienced with the new system is that songs can be repeatedly aborted by certain actions that trigger new songs, making for much less audio flow than before. And also that certain songs are played too often that they get tiresome. Hopefully this will improve with further development.

can't bulk download it, but you can download each song. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Music
