The reasons given for the removal of the jukebox do not feel justified to me.

You wanted the game to play specific music in lowsec and nullsec? Fine. But you still could have kept the jukebox and simply added sub-categories to it for further customization based on region. That would have been appreciated, actually.

In reality, you basically DID do this, you just removed OUR ability to mess with it. That seems uncool to me, and pointless.

Bring it back, thanks.

Plus, then there is I don't play with sounds in Eve either, so it's not as important to me. I do think it's kind of silly you don't have control over what Eve music you get in game now like you used to though.

There's no excuse to not have a Logitech G19... you don't even need to alt+tab out to play whatever you want to hear.... That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... `[#savethelance]`

When I record/compose I always encode/compress ogg from wav. Pretty sure I was using ogg files in the import folder of the jukebox. But need it back, naow! —Ω—

The people that are so opposed to bringing it back should be given the option of removing the Jukebox from their menu!!

I find it funny how there was time and resources to implement a sub-par and not demanded twitch streamer, but we can't listen to EVE music within EVE because there was no time and resources to implement a mp3 decoder. Roll

And to top it off, the new music system is broken less than a year afer being released, as it will stop playing music randomly.

As long as EVE is sandbox and different players like different game features and play styles.. Yes.. they do care.

You dont need to care about jukebox as other dont care about your problems in null (like slowcats).... got it?

According the jukebox. i like new dynamic music (depending in what security system you are in) But i dont like that i cannot skip some tracks that i dont like. the only way how to skip track is esc, lower the slider for music to 0 and then turn it back. This is just silly.

All we want is some options for music, like disable certain tracks, or just "skip this track" button. They dont need to bring back whole jukebox... we just want some basic controls for this new music system.
