I don't know if it's still a thing but Cabal back in the day had this. The novelty of the idea was cool but having to copy the music from wherever I originally had it and pasting it in the music directory, as well as converting to a different format, was more trouble than it was worth.

To add to this, the ingame jukebox didn't have all the functionality I've come to appreciate from dedicated music players. While you can bind Next, Previous, Play/Pause, and Stop to hotkeys, you'll never have the functionality of something like Winamp in the Eve Client.

All things considered, I'd take Winamp over the Eve Client any day.


I agree! Winamp out of game works great and I'm even listening now as I type! I forget who the person was but they had I think pretty much all of the music from Eve on a page that I went to and downloaded all of the tracks and sometimes I'll hit play to listen to them.


I think you are referring to this site...
http://www.modenstudios.com/EVE/music/
Even if it's not, still a great site

And Ring Mining, Bountyhunting, Modular POS, etc.

Yeah it's a shame CCP keeps changing or removing things that work perfectly fine while ignoring the things that actually need to be fixed or removed.

Even though I liked having the option to listen to the old Jukebox, most of the time I used an external music player and listened to Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien.

In my opinion it fit's great with Eve.

For real... The Tristan. Moves from a 2/2 turret/launcher split to an unbelievably ******** drone boat that is totally unbalanced and has just about no tier-equivalent counterpart from every other race's ships. Way to go on that one, CCP. Sansha ships. Inherently have cap problems due to both energy turret and shield tanking usage. Have AB bonuses which are nice, as well as tracking, but neither are potent enough. So i suppose Sansha ships aren't an example of CCP COMPLETELY crapping the bed. But yeah. A lot of mistakes. And a lot of major tweaking; which actually translates to breaking things. We'll see how long the bonuses on Sansha ships last until they swap them out for cap... NO.. MAINTENANCE DRONE bonuses. LOL.

And it's also a shame that there are a lot of mongoloids who actually defy logic. But i suppose that's how it's always going to be. There is both a culture among a player base and an anti-culture. The anti-culture in EVE seems to consist of no logic. Walking in stations? Yeah.... naaahh.. who needs that? When we can just have little character portraits that we've named, instead of actually being the character you "created" at the beginning of the game. Whenever a group among a player base forms, an anti-culture that brings nothing but negativity is formed. Nevermind that this game's huge, MAJOR main issue is its insane level of incompleteness. But you know, fondness for a company/game is totally alright and is a legitimate way of rationalizing making insanely idiotic statements. Fanboyism. It's a cancer to any game; and in the case of console gamers: an entire platform. As evidenced by the moron who posted on the previous page.

GOING BACK TO THE MUSIC PLAYER. Yeah. I even decided to do what i could for the time being, and tried downloading the EVE soundtrack off the CCP Soundcloud. And the tracks.. don't even have ID3 tags. Or any further information other than track name.

Little off topic but does the guy who wrote most of the tracks and sounds still work for ccp?

The soundtrack for Stain is creepy - especially that part that sounds like a ghost humping a tuba.

When I first got to Stain I was cloaked up somewhere and left the PC to take care of a few things and I swear for a moment I though a ghost was in the house. Scared the crap out of me (luckily I was in the right place for that).

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

A music player would be cool, convenient especially if we could select tracks from the game to play but it would defeat the prupose of dynamic music. So I don't think this is happening.

all the feckers claiming they need an ingame music player because they needs to hear EVE music while they play when in fact the first thing we all did way back when we had the ingame player was to find where the files where stored what format they where in and then convert our fav songs and stick them in there to listen to when playing EVE. because after hearing the in game music for oh say a year it kinda starts to feel like nails being rammed into your ears hahahahaha, as much as i love the EVE music there's only so much of it you want to hear.

a bit like the chanting on the amarr NPC stations, lol i used to say, i swear if i ever meet one of them i'll super glue his feckin mouth shut hahahahaha.

simply solution is best solution.

play whatever music on whatever application you feel you need.

or

>>>>> EVE MUSIC <<<<<

you're welcome Big smileRoll

Well, you see. Guaranteed, someone has already said this exact thing about engine trails as well. And then after approximately 10 years of putting their strongest creative minds together, CCP realized they could bring back engine trails as an OPTION. *GASP* I know, right?! So, the same thing would go for the dynamic music. Dynamic, not dynamic. Dynamic, not dynamic. I only believe in competence, and not making insanely idiotic decisions. Case and point; the music player.
