I joined Eve a while before JB, and the biggest issue I've had now that I've returned is finding the jukebox. I asked in the local chat and got "Dude, the Jukebox is gone".

Isn't EVE all about choice? Can't believe ccp removed it. I guess I have to listen to Miner Stories from an external player and disable in game music.

Signed for bringing it back.

Oh, bringing the jukebox back takes time from new features? I'd call the jukebox a feature, a feature that people seem to want. Ccp would do well in putting up a poll on the matter.

I thought the concept of a new version was ADDING features not REMOVING them..

Please bring back the jukebox !

I actually used the joke box occasionally. Not often. But every now and then. More often than I got to use the door at any rate.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: When I came to EVE, I was used to games with dynamic location-based music. EVE's jukebox was one of the important distinctions that made me want to stay.

voting to bring back the jukebox. most of the time you have the sound affects (and music) muted since you are on comms and they only drown out people talking. But sometimes when I turned on the music I would pull up the jukebox and turn on "Below the Asteroids" or other songs I enjoyed and let me nostalgia hard. The location based music is fundamentally flawed since if you live in nullsec or similar you will only hear certain songs which gets very boring very fast. There is no reason to remove functionality, especially when it is a fun feature that does not affect gameplay. Yes the idea of context based music is interesting, but EVE is about choice and consequence, not dungeon raiding sound affects.

I always can play music on winamp or other player. I don't need Jukebox in cost of other features.

Almost every game you play, you have the option to select/deselect audio... except EVE. :( I can no longer turn off the music, and get only battle sounds when I'm playing at night, and have to have the volume down. Now, with minimal volume, the only thing that comes through is music. I want to be able to change the song playing, as well as stop the music completely whenever I feel the need.

I disagree. Who needs a jukebox in Eve if you can just run your favorite media player in the background? I am using winamp which works perfectly. It was the right decision to prioritize the development budget on more important features.

As far as I am aware, deleting features doesnt quite corresponds to "prioritizing development budget".

What are those "more important features" that the suppression of the jukebox allowed ?

Vote for CSM 11!

Not to mention the jukebox and calculator probably use a similar amount of code, that being much less than the crappy barely-functional browser.

Hi.. Im so glad you brought this up Darkestheart. And i totally agree with you ive been playing this game for many years and i really loved the jukebox. To see and experience CCP take away something from the game that has nothing to do with game balance and adjusting is utterly sad. And using a third party program to get the music(SOUND) you want in a game is completely wrong and especially when you(CCP) had it already implemented in the game. I can imagine there have to be alot of work adressing problems regarding the jukebox something that was already in the game taking away resources from other aspects of development and therefor just removing it solves all YOUR problems and not satisfying the playerbase. All this made short. BRING BACK THE JUKEBOX.

Thanks.

I run on an aging machine and running additional programs in the background just makes everything lag that much more, the IGJB was not resource intensive or required much of a demand on processor time, IDC if it'll read every file type or have 50,000 addon features, just a basic mp3 player that'll punch up some tunes while I go kill stuff or scratch rock and doesn't requre an entirely separate thread of processes running.
