These are about as close as we are going to get without someone running a classic client on a PC from the 1999-2000 era.
Btw, I made those mp3's about 6 years ago =)

Is it possible to utilize these mp3s in the current client or are they just for standalone play for nostalgia purposes?

Almost success - I have it all running and have been able to test the XMI files with a player kindly provided to me by Windcatcher from the eqemu forums - I'm planning on trying WinAMP as well. The music is HUGELY different played with the SYNTHUSR.SF2 soundfont loaded into the AWE64 versus using the Windows MIDI section. Right now I'm just trying to get the noise level down, for some reason it's very extreme with lots of hiss (which I can remove) and some thumping thats random (so I can't remove) - once thats done I'll post the files in a lossless format...

Regards,
Mg

After that, us random Joes can just copy the music into the EQ folder and we'll have the awesome music? Sounds good - thank you for your efforts.

I turned off my music very soon after starting the game and used to listen to some radio shows. After hearing the 'good' music, I'm a little bummed that I didn't stick it out to hear some of the zones outside good old Stemfont and Ak'Anon.

If someone can make it so that we can get this uber sounding original wavetable music on project 1999, that person really deserves a medal man. Damn, someone pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I've always had the music at 25 and the sound at 60 or higher. I would turn up the music when I liked it.

I think the music is part of the content though (like a movie). That's why I keep it low and don't turn it off. The only time I ever used the music player was in 2007... I grinded the hole with some electronica.

EDIT: BS, sorry about this. I accidently clickedp review, and somehow posted twice.

Is it true that the bard music in freeport only played at night?

If true, that's a nice touch. I hate it when it's the same thing over and over. Not original.

I am not aware of any music in game playing only at certain times of the day
