Your profession background has nothing to do in this circumstance - I enjoy this feature, and I will argue over it.
The fact is that EvE still plays music. It still plays the same songs, just at set times and when certain actions are performed. Will those sections of the code need to be updated as patches are released? Of course, as certain game mechanics change they will need to be updated.
But if EvE is still playing music, then it still has the ability to play music files in the same way that it did before. The output is still exactly the same, we hear music when in EvE. A gui, one which already exists, is all thats lacking.

By the way, I have used Winamp for a decade. No joke - It's my all time favorite music player when you use it with the Enhancer 017 plugin. I also like to use WMP as it binds with my X4 nicely.

All I am arguing for is for a feature that already exists in the game to be restored.



I would like to note, that code to pull of a track for certain areas/ when you fire your weapon, is much MUCH different from code that allows the player to pick and choose what music they want.

commonly suggest cloaking and local ideas

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

yes, definately bring back the jukebox.

i miss it...

perhaps in fact, CCP could add new tracks to it every new patch release.

Also, i'm a musician- how do i submit tracks for consideration by CCP?

I have an honest psychological addiction to the jukebox. I can't accept not having it. I can't see myself quitting EVE over anything, but the removal of the jukebox is creating quite an internal conflict within me.

It seems that CCP is giving us the big middle finger on this, based on the new eden sound-box item that is, I believe, one of the upcoming event items.

Firely/Serenity/Battlestar Galactica OSTs are a way better Eve soundtrack. Sorry CCP but music isn't the strong point of this game. Please give me back my jukebox.

CSM two step has responded via tweets to our request:

"No. Use one of the many available music players. It is dumb for CCP to spend time making a music player. "

Wow, are our elected officials clueless or just ignorant?


I suggest that any an all of you tweet #csmsummit your requests for jukebox back.

Foobar accomplishes it nicely but the rebuttal to that is if you use an external mp3 player for your music you miss the upbeat combat music when entering a mission. They seem to think the only reason to use the jukebox is to listen to non-eve non-immersive music (and for some people it is), but for some of us its to listen to immersive music and while we can use an external mp3 player to simulate the experience we lose certain aspects of the in-game music that were compatible with an internal jukebox.

As someone who hasnt turned eve sound on in years, I cant say either way how i feel about the removal of the jukebox. However the reason i have kept the sound off for so long is that the sound effects and soundscape that they try to create is incompatible with actually playing the game and being involved in all the metagame things that they also seem to encourage.

Eve sound should all be revamped, however not in the music part of it but in the options part. Which items i can turn off (station music needs to be a separate option always. I never want it on) and which items i can raise or lower depending on the actions that they represent.

I really wouldn't mind a 50+ page esc menu of options. infact i think that that would delight to no end most of your customers : truly customizable UI, sound, visual representations of space, everything.

but dont worry i'm not holding my breath, I remember how long it is continuing to take you to unfk yourself after the Universal Inventory expansion.

I sign this thread, In the hopes that a dev [other then CCP Punkturis, i know she does] is in fact reading their own feedback. This is a feature that i know is wanted by more then the people that post on the forums.

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.
