People who don't want the JB to come back because they, personally, don't use it don't really have any right to come and tell us that those of us who DO like using it that we shouldn't be able to. That would be like me saying that nobody can use the Perimiter gate in Jita, and that it should be taken away

This made my day!

CCP, can you add a Word like Office application while you're at it? Also, some CD/DVD burning software would be good, I don't wanna use an external application.

/sarcasm mode off

Music players freely available on the internet are way better at playing music then EVE's player ever was (not to be rude or anything, just stating that specialized software does the job better). Time of developers is better spent coding and developing something that benefits the gameplay anyway.


Nobody is saying that you have to use the JB if you don't want to. If you want to play your music outside the game, then play your music outside the game. The rest of us shouldn't have to have the choice taken away from us because YOU (plural you) think the JB is stupid. It didn't hurt anything, it didn't affect game play, and it was a cool feature. If you disagree, then when CCP brings it back, you have the option to turn the in game music off and go listen to your Justin Beaver and Wrong Direction on another program.

Yes.

Do it.

Not necessarily as a copy-paste of the old jukebox, but just something that isn't the same two or three ambient songs all. the. time.

CCP could integrate Spotify or LastFM into EVE Online. Local Music too would be awesome.

Hi,

I want to thank you all for taking time to give this matter you attention. We (meaning the CCP sound department) are monitoring this thread closely and take all opinions into consideration. I hope you don't think we made this decision lightly.

First, some back story.

As many of you know that used the jukebox it was quite buggy and we got a lot of negative feedback regarding its use, it didn't measure up to other media players, it didn't support this or that codec etc. The jukebox works as a plugin to our audio engine (Audio Kinetics WWise) and was based on a now deprecated Microsoft MP3 decoder that was used as an example on how to build plugins for the WWise engine.

As mentioned in the blog these were the biggest issues that factored into the removal the jukebox. We believe we made the right decision but that is for EVE's community to decide. If we however made the wrong decision and you decide that we will put the jukebox back into the game, it will happen at the cost of adding new game-play related features. And I ask you all to weigh that into your thoughts on the matter. The jukebox needs a lot of love, and if we will give it all the love that it needs it will take development time away from game-play related features. If you decide that there is more value for you in the jukebox than there is in new features we will shift our focus back to the jukebox.

Regards,

RealX


Bolded some very important bits...

I vote no on the jukebox. There are hundreds of more important spaceship-related things to work on in this spaceship game. There are also hundreds of alternatives to play music.

Why is this even a thing?

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I vote yes on the jukebox. Tiericide is in its final stages and there are a few other major concerns to look at, and the lack of a jukebox and the current state of in-game music is one of them. This might not be the most pressing concern just yet, but I think the time is fast approaching when the developers will be able to start focusing on side projects.

I'd rather have a jukebox first before we delve into new features that are going to introduce new balance issues. Lets get everything squared away first.

I also think that music in this game is very important matter. Plus I still don't understand what was wrong with the old JB. It was in perfect condition.

The fact that it was part of the game any music I added was giving me the feel like its from actual game and I could then change it any time I wanted to make adjustments when the game action/situations actually changed. Just like in movies. I believe many people used it exactly the same. How difficult is to understand that we play the game for fun and when we have more power given to us we actually can make this entertainment more meaningful to us because we are all different people.

Using other tools or media players does not make sense because the game has to be minimised in order to change tracks braking immersion in the same time. If CCP think this is not important then why do we have web browser in game??? Its just another "non game-play related feature" yes or no?

Code conflict. It couldn't be left as-is with the coming updates or it would have become bugged and/or ceased functioning. It had to be updated/rewritten in order to continue functioning as it always had.
