How about you guys give us an option to enable the music in EVE? A lot of players completely forgot, that EVE has got sound. The sounds of EVE are just too old and not worth it to hear them. That could be something a lot of people would like: Get some new and better sounds that are like one would expect it in 2011/2012.

Shouldn't this be in features and ideas section? New sound would be great, but there's a lot more important features on the todo list for now.

I agree, I've loved the EVE Soundtrack back when I first heard it in 2008, but since then I must have listened to "miner stories" about 50789789 times. It' a good soundtrack, I just wish there was a second addition to spice things up a little.

I would like some of the old thems to be put on regular tracks.

I would also like to have an option to have dynamic tracks disabled. I am trying to listen to the whole thing then all of a sudden doing a mission it decides to play a new song and resets my entire list.

It's not so much the sound being old, as the sound causing lag and possibly costing you a pod.

NeoCom > Jukebox > Play
ESC Menu > Audio > check Music volume

EVE could use some new music though, maybe something by Anne Dudley?
I'd also appreciate it if the music tracks were named in the game files. I don't want to have to listen to each one in turn, first in the jukebox then in my media player, just to match up the names...

The trick is to find music that is in the same style as Eve (droning ambient) and have it play in windows. I listen to SomaFM's "Drone Zone" ... have a look!

Also, in before "Eve has sound?"

The Minmatar Republic could use a new anthem, now that you mention it...

(Import our own tracks into jukebox, we can haz plx, CCP? <3ulots kthxbai.)

Or they could just hire me to compose a new soundtrack for them.

I'de support this.

I usally write one of these and then change it a month later when I reread it and decide it sounds stupid.
