Every now and then when I happen to be in high sec, I like to turn on the in game music. The problem is I find that it's the same bland ambience everytime, regardless of where I go. Why did you remove so many of the amazing oiginal compositions that were a part of what made me fall in love with Eve so many years ago? Some might say it's the nostalgia in me talking but I honestly feel bad for the new players, who don't get a chance to experience the great atmosphere it added.
I found this site a while ago which I think has every track that was ever in game, in high quality, that you can download.

Best thing to do is to bookmark that website (which I have, btw nice find), get a folder on your hard drive going with your favs, or all of them should you wish it, and roll out the old media-player-behind-Eve trick. The jukebox is gone for good until CCP wises up and reintroduces it, so at this juncture, this is the main alternative. |

Well, provided how he was on the team who kiled the jukebox, I'm not sure how that's an issue. Maybe the next guy will carve his niche by leting us listen to the game music within the game.
Also, removing the jukebox was CCP's design policy at its best: ignore people who uses the feature and kill it to suit the tastes of people who don't give a damn of it. Absolutely briliant.

I am a new player and I already turned the music off since it was pretty repetitive and didn't get me in the cold alone in space mood.
Looks like quite a treasure of clips in your link. Would be nice to have those available in-game. |

Oh, they were! There used to be a jukebox with most of the themes available, so you could just play whichever suited you or just let the list shuffle randomly. Plus adding your own mp3 to the playlist. The Greater Fool Bar-áis now open for business, 24/7.

Sounds like a neat feature that they should reintroduce along with their old music content. |

Just like the folks that live there.
Low sec FTW \o/
EDIT: That wasn't a fair statement. Null has it's exciting moments. Like when some ahole with a voice like a 13yo girl is screaming "PUSH F1 NOW, SLAGS!!!! into teamspeak. They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake. |

It feels repetitive and boring because it's all fundamentally in the same key, i.e., it starts on the same tonic and ends there. It's practical because it allows any track to flow pretty easily into any other. And it doesn't really get very adventurous harmonically for the same reason. I think it's playing it too safe, honestly.
I'm kind of toying with the idea of writing some alternative music that gets a little more harmonically interesting but still allows the same flow from track to track and just see if anyone likes it. I don't know. We'll see. There are some tracks that I really like. I kind of want to riff on those. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon |

I think wormhole space is on par. It's just random gloomy sound effects and sleeper noises. |

If you do happen to be using the in-game music, you can skip a track by going into the options and briefly dropping the music volume to 0. [witty image] - Stream |

Does anyone know why the duke box and the Eve music was removed? I know the .mp3 patent expired, but I wonder if they just didn't want to pay the musician who made it any more. Regardless it's still good to listen to - it really reminds me of the old days.
Oh god - it also reminds me how over the last 10 years my life hasn't really changed at all.

However if you stay in the same systems doing the same repetitive tasks over and over, yes, it's going to get a little boring after awhile. If you insist on doing that, stream them or download them and play them whenever you like. If you like EVE Online and War Thunder content stop by my YouTube channel.-á

The first thing I do when firing up any game is turn off the sound track and other incidental music.
Not only does it ruin the immersion but it masks the aural clues that I spent a fuckload of money buying a 5.1 surround setup to take advantage of.
But maybe that's just me.

I'm going to go jump off a tall building. Bye. Actually it was because the jukebox code was old, buggy, and interacted with the rest of the sound system in unpleasant ways, and didn't integrate with modern mp3 (or other) file formats. So to bring it up to date would have been a significant coding work. So rather than delay actual game features for a significant length of time, they removed it so they wouldn't have to spend time working around an obsolete system which limited them in some other ways.
And maintaining an in game player up to date when people already maintain out of game players that are free, (but can't be bundled with commercial software so CCP can't just steal the program and put it inside EVE), seemed a poor use of time to them. Is it sad we lost a feature. Yes. Was that feature worth the cost of something else. Probably not. Could they make it easier to use an out of game player by creating easy download bundles of music and allowing players to submit to those bundles also, probably. |

You should know that the game already haves a music player, and the players have limited itneraction with it through the "sound to 0" "shuffle" function. What the current music player lacks, it's a playlist and playback UI.
And it doesn't haves it because soemone wanted to create "soundscapes" for EVE, by linking certain themes to certain systems and creating a thematized ambient music generator function for null and WH, which responds tot he maount of killigns int he system.
Onviously, that someone didn't bothered to ask to the people who actually would pick certain themes to play back at certain times/systems, nor tried to listen to the same 4 themes for an hour while mining. That someone was extremely fascinated by his "soundscapes" idea for the all so important null/WH crowd, which are notorious appreciators of EVE music and sound.

Yeah the music in EVE used to be great, now its just dull.
They should have never removed the jukebox and the music that was there. It pissed off more players than it made players happy. |
