...is there a way to actually stop the music or prevent it from playing other than turning its volume slider down in the options menu?

Doubt it.

Turn the slider for music down down down. I did that on my 2nd day in eve. Never slid to the right again..

I just thought it might uselessly continue playing in the background, when I just turn the volume down.

That's why I was looking for the "stop" button :)

I'm looking into either to add a checkbox to make the music stop or when the slider goes to 0.0 that the the music system will also stop.

How about the option of adding, you know, music to the music.

Yours flying in space to the sound of Alicia De Larocha; simply breathtaking.

having a check box would be nice since you can leave the music volume set to a comfortable level for yourself. It would also make it easier to add a keyboard shortcut to toggle music on and off. Say to mute the music while listening to teamspeak. Just a thought. This is the configuration I prefer in most other games. In EVE I tend to have the music off and instead play a funk and acid jazz station in the background so it doesn't matter to me either way.

BTW, why was the jukebox removed?

anyone still have a mp3 player I can borrow. I miss the jukebox.

I don't like music all that much myself.

guys: soundcloud. If you want the in-game music with jukebox control, turn off the in-game music, load up the soundcloud and have fun.

That's why they uploaded it - for precisely that reason.

They made it so that different sounds or songs play when your in high, low, null, or w-space. Different variations of these songs/sounds play depending on whether your in combat, mining, the amount of ships destroyed in the last hour in the system, etc. I can see why they did it and it is an interesting concept, but this shouldn't be a mini-incarna. They should give us the choice to have it the new way or just click a button or check a box to have the old jukebox back.

Please do something about this, the situation before this patch was perfect and now it's ruined.

I turned the slider to the port-sideas soon as I heard what passed for 'music'.

I'm absolutely loving the new randomized tunes playing, I hope its going to be expanded on soon with the different races / hi / lowsec.
A couple of checkboxes / sliders to customize the experience a bit wouldn't go amiss (the music playing in combat complexes is a bit meh.. tbh) but yeah, loving it. Hope it stays and gets expanded.

It's not that I don't like the music, having it play on 4 clients simultaneously is a bit weird though ;)

no more Nouvelle Rouvenor Hero

I love EVE music. I really do.
But after Retribution I had to turn off music volume to zero because there is no way to turn off "combat tracks".

Two features that I like to see in client settings:
Turn off combat music option. For my taste combat musis is too intense and it wont stop playing when you warp-out from deadspace pocket.
Mute sounds when client in background option. When you run two clients at once from one folder, sounds will mix into the cacophony.

Add features, don't remove them.

You may as well stop creating new tunes for the login screens for new expansions since the majority of players will have the in-game music turned off.

"[i]By placing the music on Soundcloud, we are providing those that still want to customize their own playlists with the existing EVE soundtrack the ability to do so. We opted for that route rather than maintaining two systems, both the new system and the jukebox, as that is an extra development effort, again, taking away resources from more important things.

by removing extraneous functionality, we have more time to work on other things

Did CCP ever provide a reason for removing a smart feature of the game?

Apparently they were unable to maintain a piece of code that takes few days to be rewritten from scratch.

There's nothing more I liked than just flicking to Below the Asteroids

I don't understand the hate and dislike of the eve music, its atmospheric and it fits and I think it sounds great. To many cry baby little girls that like to ***** and complain.

In fact I would like to see more tracks, the log in music for retribution is dead sexy and we need more, MOAR I say!

Agree most are cry babies but, some decent music would make my Eve so much better.

Why did you link to that video with that God awful horrible noise then? EVE music is great, why would you want something less good instead? I don't get it.

Most people put these song on youtube. I know it may be "illegal" but just use a site like youtube-mp3 and download it from there.
Personally I like the Jukebox and all the old songs like below the asteroids, surplus of rare artifacts, and I saw your ship.

If it helps any, I actually listen to EVE music even when I am not playing EVE.

The jukebox just doesn't fit with the "soundscape" approach that CCP went with. Sound and music should be more than just a list of tracks.

That said, I think the soundscape system should remain somewhat extendable. Perhaps a set of folders for different situations that you can drag and drop tracks into.

Finding out that most people don't listen to the Music track you spend hours selecting

If it helps any, I actually listen to EVE music even when I am not playing EVE.

I used to be able to:

1) Hear the log in screen music

2) Log in into a client where the music was enabled, while all the others had it set to "pause".

3) The settings were permanent and by client, so set them once and forget...

3) ...Therefore I had exactly the enjoyable experience I wanted.


Now:

1) I can't hear the log in screen music because...

2) ...I can't set one client to "music on" and the others "music off". Only 1 global setting which alters all clients.

3) After some days fiddling with music at every login I gave up, it's too annoying to keep setting everything all the time...

4) ... Therefore I have exactly a crap experience I did not want.



Conclusion: seeing how it just follows suit of a lot of redone new things like the corp hangars forgetting the last open division, I can safely conclude the CCP usability QA are simply stealing their wage.

I'm surprised so many people were using the in-game jukebox. The thing never worked correctly for me. It wouldn't go to the track I loaded, would skip tracks, and I couldn't ever get a playlist to work right.

I feel they should add more aura to the mix

Sound Cloud is a Goon subsidiary corp!

Seriously though, please bring back the Jukebox. and make mining lasers LOUD again!

anyone still have a mp3 player I can borrow. I miss the jukebox.

Oh and one more thing while we're talking about in-game sounds and where a CCP Dev may actually see this: what is up with that horrid explosion sound every time I dock at a station? That one noise rocks my speakers so much that it alone determines the volume at which I can enjoy the game. KABOOOM!!!! You're docked? If I'm doing something incorrectly, please, for the love of nacho cheese, somebody help me fix it.

YK

I'm looking into either to add a checkbox to make the music stop or when the slider goes to 0.0 that the the music system will also stop.

Why even remove it? People can take it off their neocom themselves, it's ridiculous to just... remove it.
Plus, sometimes I like to choose my own song. What gives? What did removing it do? I hope this is a bug.

so they are making it so it plays music based on what you are doing ....great...so if a player who basically just does combat missions will only hear the same music because they are not involved...so i have to change my behavior to hear varied music...the music to eve is unique and very very fitting and certainly adds to the game in ways that are hard to understand, the mood and atmosphere ect...

they need to re add a playlist...i mean take away the browser i dont even use that its ******** using some half baked internet browser...give me playlist

Also, where's the check box discussed in the first page?
A couple of months should be enough to press 1 button to put it on a window and then write 10 or so lines of code to implement the functionality.

youtube.

or even soundcloud.

It's about time CCP added an ingame RP radio that has chat shows and themed music for each race.

Gallente - Trance, House, Dance,

Minmatar - errrr same as above + metal and rock and tribal stuff

Amarr - Choir and Classical

Caldari - ???

apparently as few as 5% of players actually had the sound active, but given that this was done via user tracking doesn't really take into account people with multiple accounts properly

If that was determined as a part of a Survey, did they not consider that people were responding in a snarky way to be 'funny'? ( "EVE has sound?")

What they are missing is *why* people turn the sound off. It's only partly due to not liking it--the main, huge, overarching reason is that it clashes with comms and makes it difficult to hear what's being said.

Understandable certainly. But CCP should know that not all players have to deal with fleet comms. I certainly don't when mining and running missions.

We demand the Jukebox to return back.

It was a feature which was around for a long time, the only major flaw of the jukebox was the jukebox being removed.

Why remove an unbroken feature?

It would be fine if I had a music player as part of my operating system, or if dozens were available for free download... and if all of the EvE music was available for streaming or download....

Apparently the Jukebox was using licensed software and only 4% of the user player-base interacted with it. 4% of 1000 is still 40. And isn't there some open source software out there?

It's a pain to need a separate app running in the background in order to hear something beyond the same 4 or 5 songs over and over in the game. For goodness sake CCP, please give us back the jukebox. Give the players control over the audio experience again like it used to be.

The jukebox was a kludge that kindasorta worked, used licensed code (cost money to CCP), and apparently caused numerous headaches during code maintenance.

Putting it back, at this point, is nigh impossible. Things have changed code-wise since the day it was stripped out. To re-implement, CCP would have to reacquire licenses/develop in-house, rollback the internal codebase to the day it was removed, then re-implement every change, update, and fix made between then and now, fixing any conflicts that would invariably arise from using grotty code. It is a TON of work. All that to duplicate functionality that is now built into every modern OS shipped.

I would rather have CCP work on new features/fixes/balances, than waste dev hours on a jukebox that barely anyone used. If you want music, then alt-tab, fire up whichever media player you want, and play from there.

than waste dev hours on a jukebox that barely anyone used.

Try living in w-space. There's no music at all, it's just a low ambient noise, every day, all the time.

Oh god this thread is back.

CCP stated at Fanfest the jukebox is totally, utterly, 100% gone, and nothing you can say or do will bring it back. Gone. Kaput. Deleted. It's dead Jim.

If not having the jukebox is a gamebreaker for you, now is the time to unsub and find a new game.

Out in nullsec the ambient sound is like the constant moan of a tortured whale. poor whale. someone think of the whales..

I'm looking into either to add a checkbox to make the music stop or when the slider goes to 0.0 that the the music system will also stop.

I guess CCP intended for Eve to not have sound outside of highsec because all I ever hear out in Deklein or Delve is background space noise.

Not a fan of the "music", I can respect that.

I don't like music all that much myself.
