Yes one about monitoring this thread closely. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2334384#post2334384
One about removing a Rant. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2344604#post2344604

And that last one was back in 2012.

ah well glad to see how close they have been watching it these last two years....


even if it was "too buggy" they could at least put music in the game outside HS


that BS about how the current music works to add "immersion" to the system you are in only works the first few minutes the first time you enter then it just gets dull

Signed. I would like the music looked at. Eve's music is some of the most atmospheric in any game. To have the atmosphere lessened due to repetitiveness seems counter-productive. A game immerses you with graphics (which we have improved), gameplay (which we are working on) and audio (which took a step backwards).

I fail to see why one of the most immediately apparent aspects to immersion is now only available though accessing a 3rd party site. That in itself seems strange so I would like CCP to take a good look at their decision here as I am not sure it was necessarily a good one. I like the idea of themes across regions to tell you where you are but the fact remains what we have is just recycling of the same old tunes and it's got rather stale.

It's just a .mp3 player. I don't see that its addition to the game would cost much in terms of new features. I'm ready to pay the price.

I'm going to go ahead and sign this because I can. I detest the dynamic music format, largely due to my overall low opinion of the 'actiony' tracks that play whenever I activate an acceleration gate. I just want the functionality of the old jukebox back -- if people want to use the new system, leave them to it! Some kind of toggle button would satisfy all parties, I'd wager.

not to mention with all the QOL things CCP seems to be pushing this would be a big one and just an over all gift to the player base particularly the vets who have been playing long enough to remember using it

Whatever happens with this I hope we eventually get a major overhall on the current state of music in EVE.

CCP really shouldn't dump anymore time or money into the music of EvE. Regardless of how much effort they put into the soundtrack, unless they continually funnel more and more into it, constantly releasing new tracks, it'll get old, and once again it'll be muted for outside music players.

One way to re-enable the jukebox functionality:

Gather up the eve music files from sound cloud. Turn them into videos including the soundcloud music with a video editor. Add visuals or leave them blank. Encode them for use on the CQ screen and deposit the video files into the CQ Screen video directory. Enter CQ.

You now have all of the eve music tracks with visuals of your choice, when you log into stations & enter CQ.

Note: You can do this with other video content of your choice too.
The only serious issue is you won't have the music while flying in space, nor the ability to skip tracks easily, without reordering them.

Detailed instructions, (just use eve music files & turn then into videos in an encoder):
