I made a thread on how to do it, but it was deleted on a technicality..some obscurity called the EULA

I hate the that. I bet it would be ok if 'original program developed by Mind Ark' was spammed audibly in the BG every 30 seconds.

EULA sucks, who reads those anyway?

I have played with music off for many many moons now. I tend to interact with music too much and listen differently after playing and working in the biz for so long. So I tend to not listen if I`m doing other things. But every once in a great while I`ll turn it up just to hear the tunes that remind me of when I first started playing. They are not bad songs just that they get monotonous after hearing them so many times.

I turned it down below my ability to hear it some time ago.

I wish it was possible to actually "turn it off" rather than just turn the volume down to zero, as I assume my PC is spending CPU time & disk access on the music, only to reproduce it at zero volume.

I also wish MA enabled me to specify a path to my own music collection (or create a play-list out of files on my pc), and added action keys for "next track", "Pause" etc.

Then I would not have to alt-tab and go fiddle with windows media player.

I absolutely love the in game music. I'm a big fan of techno in the real world, so I enjoy having great music to listen to in game. I dont think I have ever turned it off or down in my 3+ years of play (except to turn on ND's audio stream ofcourse )

only like one or two track's the rest is nothing special and so i got bored and started listen to my own music but the problem ends up being the same i got bored of listing the same list of music over and over so i now listen internet radios and never got bored of the music.

the best option for better music in the game could be like a shortcut in the keyboard to a menu that would allow us to chose between some internet radios of different music types that way everyone could choose is favorite type of music and nobody would get bored. but since the the servers already have lag with out this kind of feature i'm not even suggest it to MA.

by the way if you use winamp and peass tool you can , pause, stop, play, change music and change volume with out doing alt-tab i downloaded the winamp because of this before that i used the windows media player to but with winamp and peass tool is much better

I find the music a tad irritating,. it cuts in and out and doesnt stay when u want it to. a nice jukebox option would help EU a lot so u can pause when needed or just leave on play when ur hunting/mining/crafting. I dont like the fact that they have the power to stop it at will ruining the flow. Cause the music itself is nice and fits the game very well. Just doesnt stay around as much as ide like it to

I listened to the EU music alot (even out of game) in my first months ingame but not anymore. Nowadays I prefer to listen to my own collection: folk, ethnic and ambient mostly.

[Shorty]

EU music on CND only, and that's sometimes
for the rest I just take my own music on winamp

but i played a long time with sound shut off, now
calypso = winamp
CND = EU music or winamp
