... does it really make sense to keep pumping out tracks for the seldom lingered upon title screen, only to quickly discard it for a new theme the next month?
I mean heck in Dust we can't even get real music, and here peeps just be throwing it away all the time like it ain't no thang.
Could at least make some legit space music for nullsec. Maybe they should hire one of those creepy industrialist ambient guys with a really long pair of rods going through his nipples or something. |

Came expecting a thread about nipple rods and/or piercings.
Leaving satisfied.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

We could record CCP RealX getting nipple rods emplaned and us that. With accompanying beat as well. |

I leave the login screen on just to hear the latest works of Eve's "Hans Zimmer".
Do we all have to be nitpicky as if everything mattered?

I wouldn't mind being able to toggle the eve music on and off on the forums tbh, is that possible? You could create a linky somewhere with the eve music links, even if they are on soundcloud in the first place.

Alienhand is amazing and I have no idea why CCP did not pick him up ages ago. It was pretty obvious he was looking for work.
Their styles only slightly conflict, and frankly AH's style works far better for Nullsec whereas RealX is more fitting on highsec.
Still kill to have either of them work a few tracks into Dust. Hell, even one combat track would be nice. That game is so..... quiet. It's ridiculous. |

Effectively soundcloud has replaced the jukebox. Which is awesome. All these tracks go on soundcloud, and you can pick and choose what you want to hear from there. Devs don't have to waste time updating audio codecs and jukebox code and we get identical functionality to what we once had. Win-win!

Matter of principle to the thing.
Also, it doesn't much matter in the case of log-in screen music. It's all unfitting for exploration or station-side nose picking. The only way a jukebox would be appropriate at this phase would be if it automatically switched between music folders based on your current location, just as the game does.
But as thats not the point of this topic, and i dont feel like having the ISD lock this down some silly duplicative reasoning, thats enough of that.
Just saying, would immensely prefer some in-game tracks over throw-away log-in tracks that nobody bothers with. |

Sure. The principle is we'd rather have our developers taking the game forward than maintaining what amounts to a WinAmp clone.

My conspiracy theorist 'friend' says royalty from codecs was part of the reason why the jukebox was removed. Oh and that Goonswarm's icon is going extinct because of Monsanto's GMOs. |

Its 2015. Playing music, gaming, using voice comms, and browsing at the same time should come as naturally as scratching your sack or complaining all the time about things that don't really matter. |

If Darwin's master plan is to hot tub time machine us back to the 90's and alter history so that winamp trumped competent sound design as an industry standard, then far be it from me to stand in his way. |

Well you could equally say that having a dev spend time on tracks that are heard for 5 seconds during log on and then never heard again is a waste of time and money.
Atleast add the expansion tracks to the ingame music playlist. no need for a jukebox just add the tracks to the exisiting playlist !

Isn't the arrogance astounding? Going to a third party website to listen to the game's soundtrack should not be a solution. Have you considered that players don't want to hear the same spoooky space ambience tracks on repeat every time they visit low/null/W-Space?
It's pretty embarassing that you claim that it's too difficult to "update legacy code". But judging by the amount of crippling UI bugs which are still in the game 3 years after I started playing, maybe it's beyond your ability.
I used to have the in-game music on 100% of the time, now it's off because it plays tracks that I hate on repeat and I don't have a choice. Great job "moving forward" guys! |

Ever seen how Anarchy Online make their music? These are the raw sound tracks but what the game does it combines tracks depending on where you are what you are doing, making music for you.

Instead of looping the current release track, you should add past tracks behind the current one. It would give : Proteus, then Rhea, then Phoebe, etc...

AH is also great.
IMO the best thing to happen is that Eve expands enough that RealX has "a crew" and I bet they would be one heck of a cadre of artists.

And +1 for anything involving more and better music. Also the bringing back of all jukeboxes to be re-installed in their rightful dashboards. |

Whoa. Just to clarify. EVE's music is historically significant both in its originality and its quality. So's dweebs comin' in who think they're god's gift to music loving don't dump on the reality with their commercial bubblegum and decades out of date RAP appetites. Appreciate quality. EVE's music is top notch.
Anyone with any sense has already left town.

I can't even begin to describe the level of Wat in this thread, especially the OP.
BTW, what happened to Hazar? he used to do cool dubstep for EVE trailers... I'm still waiting for him to release the instrumental version of the Retribution theme. CCPLEASE
