So, Programming the Jukebox back in takes the same amount of time than adding a tiny new sound-effect to the marauder animation?

So if its saying 20% of eve actually uses it...

Actually I think the threadnaught for giving back Incarna station environments tops this

Hi guys,

I've played the game for something like 8 years, before the music was revamped to the style it was before the JB was taken away. Apart from being slightly biased and actually enjoying the music in EvE when in the mood, which was quite often, there are some valid points I want to make and why it should be brought back.
New Music Style
I dont like this. I dont like how the music changes depending on my location, nor how many people have been killed in that system. It is clever I cannot deny, but the music I hear does not suit the mood I am in, nor does it, in my opinion sound that good. I feel that, so far, this noise falls under sound-effects more than music. I've turned it off for now, as I did in the test server clients since the JB was removed.
Removal of access
I'm pro choice, in EvE. I want, and love, the ability to make my own path and do what I want in EvE. I've now had something taken away from me in this game that I enjoyed. There is no gain in this, from a user perspective, I have gained nothing that adds to the experience, only detracts.
The above idea is clever and good, but I dont understand why the entire jukebox had to be taken away. It may be outdated but then that should be resolved, not taking the function out. I want to choose what music I listen to when I want to listen to it, I dont want the game to decide for me. It's lead to me disabling the sound effects of the game, which is a shame as the new sound effects are good.
Limiting Innovation
Alright thats a bit dramatic but its true. EvE is about an immersive experience that with the sound effects, visual effects and music can really suck you in and gets people hooked. I really think that the music is a massive feature of this. It auto plays when you first install the client. New members will hear it and associate EvE with it. It adds to the effect, now as it did when I first started to play. I, and many others, looked forward to the day when we would hear that the music was being revamped again, new tracks, newer mixes, but this...is not the kind of innovation we were hoping for. What has been taken is the easy route - why fix something when you can just remove the issue altogether?

TL;DR - The new music features are good but you dont need to take away the ability to select music as we want CCP. Make it so that when the JB isnt played, the auto-select feature works. The music in EvE was good, and I want to listen to the tracks when I choose, not when the client chooses for me. I've long been an advocate that the sound effects in the game factor into the enjoyment, and that they help with gameplay. I dont like the new 'music', and the plain sound effects are annoying to the point where I just dont have sound anymore. In my eyes losing an aspect like that is a massive blow to the effort put into the game to draw you in and enjoy it. I'm not alone.

Come on, bring the damn thing back, it was one of the things i really enjoyed when i started playing
This thing brought 32 pages of positive feedback on it, do we need pitchforks?

after pretty much 2 years and only 32 pages can we finally stop flogging this dead horse, it's only bones now anyway.

I think big problem with current system with no jukebox is that there is no direct link between internet music site and EVE online. New capsuleers that come to new eden have no way of knowing that there is music in EVE since it is hidden from game to some weird internet site.

I wish there could be jukebox that simply plays EVE music from internet. This would create ingame connection between EVE client and EVE music.

Although it was removed in the first place due to coding issues, and for the fact that many pilots either streamed music or used their in-house music software.

at the very least can we get an explanation as to why it can't come back

Even though this doesn't bring back the Jukebox, it is a solution for changing the music.

People who don't want the JB to come back because they, personally, don't use it don't really have any right to come and tell us that those of us who DO like using it that we shouldn't be able to. That would be like me saying that nobody can use the Perimiter gate in Jita, and that it should be taken away

I vote no on the jukebox. There are hundreds of more important spaceship-related things to work on in this spaceship game. There are also hundreds of alternatives to play music.

Plus I still don't understand what was wrong with the old JB. It was in perfect condition.

the jukebox is a nice to have... but not more than that.

imho there's more important/game-relevant stuff that needs to be done than this... -1

Sign
please dont fix was isnt broken.

Though, that function would be extremely nice to have, and have working.
Would also be cool if they supported Eve Radio with it, and broadcasted them through the Jukebox...

They aren't missing from the game, but play only in heavily populated areas.

We are thinking of adding (yet another) menu option just to play the old jukebox songs no matter where you are located or what is happening in the game. How does that sound to you all ?

And if you use the right one, it is unlikely that it is using more resources than the old jukebox was.
