Ever get tired of World of Warcraft's default music? Soundtrack lets you change the game's music to your liking. You can customize various in-game events using your own mp3s, using an easy to use interface.

Here's some example how users are using Soundtrack:


· Lord of the Rings music while in Elwynn Forrest
· Indiana Jones score while in Uldaman
· Neverending Story when flying on a hippogryph
· Shadow of the Colossus music when you encounter bosses
· Metal Gear Solid music when you're attacked in PvP
· Pink Panther or James Bond theme when stealthing
· Macho Man when your character starts dancing
· Spaghetti western music when on a mount
· Some people use their Final Fantasy scores to map to zones, battles, victories, death, level up, quest complete, etc.


Check out these videos of Soundtrack in use in the game:

· [link='http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8918359648652097239&hl=en']Ashthra[/link] (Google Video)
· [link='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VGjQGA_Xjc']Racailum[/link] (YouTube)



Features


· Play your own mp3s inside the game.
· Assign music to entire zones or specific sub zones. The default music still plays in zones that you do not assign music.
· Assign music when battling various levels of mobs, or specific named monsters.
· A plethora of events that you can assign music: Victory, Flight, Dance, Stealth, Swimming, Level Up, etc.
· Expose the full World of Warcraft score in your library to assign Blizzard's music to your own events.
· Can be used as a standard media player. You can create playlists and play them using mini floating playback controls.
· Simple interface to assign music to events. See all your tracks, sortable or filterable by track title, album or artist names.
· Custom events allows you to create your own events through lua scripting. Only for very advanced users with scripting knowledge.


Setup

Step 1: Install Soundtrack


· Option 1: Install via Curse Client
To avoid the Curse Client backuping your original music folder to a different location, right-click the curse icon on the taskbar, and disable Configuration -> Packages -> Backup When Installing. Then you can simply click the Install via curse client button.
· Option 2: Install manually
To install manually, follow the standard Manual Installation section below. Basically, you need to extract the Soundtrack folder to your "World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons" folder.


Step 2: Install Python


· Windows
Windows users need to install [link='http://www.python.org/download/']Python[/link]. It can be installed from this [link='http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.msi']link[/link].
· Mac Users
Python is already part of Mac OSX, so no steps are necessary.


Step 3: Copy your MP3s

Copy mp3s you want to use in-game to the InterfaceAddOnsSoundtrackMusic folder. Be careful to copy, and not move your mp3s to this folder. Soundtrack does not support other music formats than mp3.

Tips:

· If you have a lot of mp3s, you should organize them into sub-folders. This will make it easier to sort through your files.
· If you use iTunes, I suggest keeping a playlist that contains all the music you use in WoW. You can then drag its tracks directly on the Soundtrack/Music folder to copy your mp3s.
· It's also wise to organize your mp3s by giving them correct ID3v2 tags. Soundtrack mod sorts them into either one of three different fields: Title/File Name/File Path, Artist, and Album. Having these tags enables you to sort by these options.


Step 4: Generate your track library

Soundtrack loads your music file information through a file "MyTracks.lua" that is generated through a script called "GenerateMyLibrary.py". You need to run "GenerateMyLibrary.py" whenever you add/remove mp3 files to the "Music" folder. To run the script:


· Windows
Run the "InterfaceAddOnsSoundtrackGenerateMyLibrary.py" file by double clicking it.
· Mac Users
Open a terminal window (Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type the following 2 commands:
cd "/Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/Soundtrack"
./GenerateMyLibrary.py

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my playlist stop when I close the main window?
That's because the main window only lets you preview your playlists. To actually play them, you need to use the miniframe's playlist drop down and pick a playlist.

What types of music files are supported?
Only mp3s. Other formats are not supported by Blizzard such as wav, ogg, wma, m3u, m4a, m4p, aac, midi. MP3s with Japanese or other non-US characters in their names can cause problems, so I suggest renaming them.

There are a lot of programs to convert various music formats to mp3. I personally use iTunes for that. In iTunes, Edit->Preferences, select the Importing tab, and make sure you Import using: MP3 Encoder. Then you’ll be able to convert any tracks to an mp3 file.

Why do I need to copy my music to the Soundtrack/Music folder?
The only files that can be played by WoW are files placed under the World of Warcraft folder when the game is started. Advanced users might want to try junctions to add a virtual link between Soundtrack's music folder and your music folder.

How do I transfer my assignments to another machine?


· Exit WoW on the target machine.
· Copy your Interface/Addons/Soundtrack/Music folder to the target machine. If you only copy partial music files, it will still work, but the events that are missing tracks will be fixed automatically and you will lose the track assignments (since the tracks don’t exist).
· Regenerate the library on the target machine. You do this the usual way, by running GenerateMyLibrary.py. You can also copy MyTracks.lua directly if you want to skip this step.
· Copy the settings. All of Soundtrack settings are stored in World of WarcraftWTFAccount<UserName>SavedVariablesSoundtrack.lua. So copy this file to the same location on the target machine.
· Start WoW on the target machine!


Why do I need to install Python?
Because the Blizzard API with which I write the addon does not let me scan your music folder. This limitation is probably to prevent cheats or from addons to screw up your pc files. If this limitation is lifted, I will remove the script.So the only way to feed your list of tracks to the addon, is to generate that list outside of the game. I could have written a program in any language, but the reason I picked Python is because the same script works on both Mac and PCs, and you can read the script yourself, in case you are worried about the scripts security.

The script scans all your mp3s and saves the name, album, artist and track length to the MyTracks.lua file, which is loaded in the game.

What?! Who are you, flamebroiledham? Why have you invaded Morricone's soveriegn territory?
Haha, I haven't invaded (not yet at least, SHH). Since Morricone is busy much of the time, he can't keep track of all the different addon sites like he used to. I volunteered to manage the IncGamers one for him. Morricone is still developing the actual mod. My job is just to keep the IncGamers entry in perfect harmony with the Curse one.

Patch notes for Soundtrack
v1.20 notes


· Fix each fade out causing music volume to go down by 0.1 - Fix looping issue and music interruption
[/li]

v1.19 notes
[ul]
· Partial fix for the cross-fading problem. Basically now we have a fade out of the current track, and when its finished, the next track is started.
[/li]

v1.17 notes

[ul]
· Minor fix to GenerateMyLibrary.py from IAmParadox that could cause the list of detected MP3s to be cut short.


v1.13 notes


· Collapsible event list: The event list that was getting a bit unwieldily is now displayed as a tree where each event can be collapsed/expanded. For now, this is only seen under the Zones tab, but I will eventually also group Battle events so that you can assign tracks to groups of mobs (e.g. all elites).
· Flying mount event: A new event under the Misc tab is fired when you start flying with a flying mount. Note that this event will not play if you are are on a flying mount on the ground. I will eventually make an event that maps to specific mounts, regardless of the flight status.
· A lot of code cleanup to make it easier to maintain and add features
· fix error popup when engaging battle


v1.11 notes


· Fixed SoundZoneMusicNoDelay error poping when opening the options tab.
· Fixed conflict between swimming and combat events
· Fixed 'No Tracks Playing' shown when a track is playing. If no title was detected for a track, the file name is shown.
· Fixed error when checking tracks while no custom or misc event is selected


v1.10 notes


· Updated to 2.3
· Removed the override files from the package. These are no longer necessary
· Simplified package for more standard installation, updated setup guide, and support auto-install from curse client.


v1.8 notes


· Minor fixes for the 2.1 patch


v1.6 notes


· Boss music: There is a new tab called Bosses that lets you assign music to battles against a named mob. It doesn t just have to be bosses. It can be any monster, or even other PvP player (although I have not tested that yet). To add a target to the list, select it and press Add Target, or press Add Target when nothing is targetted to enter the name manually. The names must be exact and are case-sensitive. I will work on relaxing this in later versions to allow wildcards and case-insensitiveness.
· Fix death, ghost and victory music not working


v1.5 notes


· The Escalate Battle Music option is now functional. If the option is turned on, Soundtrack will keep checking for the highest mob level during a battle and switch to the higher event if it finds one.
· Shielded some code that has caused crashes for a few people
· Eliminate a memory leak
· Fix Add Custom Event not working if adding many events after another
· If you ve made custom events: Soundtrack.PlayEvent() and Soundtrack.StopEvent() now take the table name and event name as parameters. (e.g. Soundtrack.PlayEvent( Custom , MyCustomEvent )).


v1.4 notes


· The Sound Effect event option is now functional. Enabling Sound Effect on an event will make the tracks play over the currently playing music. Be careful, sound effects cannot be stopped, so you use it with long mp3s. It s mostly useful if you have very short mp3s that you want to use for events like Quest Complete or Victory.
· Events no longer are played when clicking the event list. To preview music from the main window, click on the tracks in the track library panel.
· Missing override for Eversong and The Exodar.
· Fix Draenei dance event.
· Fixed the default custom event not having a valid priority and an error in the script.


v1.3 notes


· Dance events for Blood Elf and Dranei races
· Add missing override for Silvermoon intro.
· Fix dance event always restarting until it gets a chance to play completely once. Instead, it gets removed as soon as an event plays over it. The same behavior is applied to any event not played continuously (once).
· Fix an error popup when opening main window.


v1.2 notes


· A new option 'Show Default Music' allows you to merge all the music included with the game into your track library and assign it to your events.
· Overrides for many intro music from TBC.
· New events: DruidTravelForm, DruidFlightForm, AuctionHouse, Merchant, Bank, JoinParty, JoinRaid, DuelRequested, QuestComplete
· Fix 'Cannot stop event' error messages
· Fix LevelUp event priority (it only played a few seconds)
· The custom events tab is now empty and only includes user-created events. All custom events provided by the addon are in the Misc tab and cannot be edited/deleted.


v1.1 notes


· Playback control track bar now shows track progress during playback.
· Fix errors poping in chat window when changing zones
· Removed duplicate LevelUp event
· 'Enable Custom Music' option functional.


v1.0 notes


· The UI has changed drastically. It's bigger than before and exposes more features.
· The track library now displays for each of your track the album and artist name. The name column can be switched between the file names, file paths or the track's titles (from mp3 id tag). You can sort your library on these column.
· Track library can be filtered using the upper-right text box. The filter checks against file names, paths, titles, album names, and artists.
· Each event now displays it's settings in two tabs under the track library: The Assigned Tracks tab shows the tracks assigned to the event and lets you move them up and down so you can define an order. The Event Settings tab allows you to edit the name of your event (if editable) and various parameters like 'Random'.
· Zone list is now presented as a hierarchical tree. Continents are now added to the zone list, allowing you to assign global music to an entire continent. Instances are also grouped under a special continent called 'Instances'. When you first install this version, a lot of your previous zones will no be placed properly in the tree. This will auto-correct itself as you visit zones in the game, and the addon discovers where the zone belongs.
· The zone list is filled at startup with all major zones automatically. You can fill the rest of the sub-zones manually, or turn on the 'Auto-Add Zones' option to add new zones to the list as they get discovered when you travel.
· Playback controls now have progress bars showing the currently played event and track. You can click these bars to pop up your playlist and start them from there.
· New events: Swimming, shapeshift forms, UnknownBattle
· Hotkey bindings for next/previous/play stop buttons.
· Advanced: Custom events allow you to link your music to your own scripted in-game events. This feature is not yet complete and I will be working on this feature in the next few weeks.
· New web site: soundtrackaddon.googlepages.com has documentation, sample videos, a quick setup guide, a FAQ and troubleshooting section.
· Bug reports and suggestions can be submitted to: www.atelierdebercy.com/mantis. You can create an account or use the guest account (user=guest, password=guest).
· Thanks to everyone who helped test the beta!


v0.38 notes


· Fix playlists stopping when closing the config frame
· Stealth event also works during catform Ambush
· Fix zone music not starting after hearthing or teleporting to a sub-zone.
· Each event has a Random checkbox. By default, all events are random. Note that the toggle is a little useless at the moment, since the list cannot be ordered manually (the tracks are in the order that they were added)
· UI update. Each track now has a checkbox next to it. Tracks can be toggled on or off for an event, without hearing them. To preview a track, click the margins (when the track is highlighted). This will play the track, without adding it to the event.
· Preview tracks are added to an event called "Preview" to make things a bit clearer.


v0.37 notes


· Fixed stealth event
· The zone list now includes all major zone names, for each continent. And it should work for any language! However, the sub-zones and interiors are not added, so must still be added manually.
· Closing the configuration frame automatically stops preview music.
· Cleaned up a lot of obsolete debug output.
· Root folder in the archive renamed to 'World of Warcraft" to match Blizzard's default installation folder.


v0.36 notes

· Fix Mount & Flight events getting mixed up
· The mini playback control frame and the now playing frame are now movable. You can move these frames by dragging the song title area.
· Added a quick setup readme.txt to the Music folder. This also ensures the archive will create a Music folder.

v0.35 notes

[ul]
· Removed IsMounted dependency. You must delete the Interface/Addons/IsMounted folder manually after you install this version.


v0.34 notes

· This version enables soundtrack on 2.0.0. I havent fully tested it, but it's enough to get the basics going like battle and zone music.

If you see any errors, please send me the exact text you see (the lua filename and line number).

· Zone and battle music sometimes gets interrupted in instances or battlegrounds.
· Dance music does not stop when your character stops dancing. This is because there is currently no way to detect that you have stopped dancing, so the track stops when it reaches its end.

Zenaku69, shush. This is a great mod and was updated consistently for some time. People have real-life obligations, especially someone like Moricone who worked on Assassin's Creed while developing this mod. He's taken longer breaks than this before, it doesn't mean anything's dead. In the meantime, it'd be cool if someone with a grasp of how to make this work could pick up the mod.

I "borrowed" the playlist generator from this project for one I'm working on (SimpleMP3) it doesn't do the same thing, it just acts like WinAmp, but inside WOW, and I have heavily modified it, and use a different library to get the ID3 tags (tagger was only getting id3v1 tags, yuck) If the maintainer of this mod (or someone who decides to take over the mod) wants to contact me, I can work with you to get this mod updated for 2.4 and working with the new playlist generator.

if you look at the second page of comments, you will see that he moved it to curse (link here: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/2342/ ) Problem is, he hasn't updated it there, either. I would consider picking up this project and bringing it up to date, but I am already working on enough projects at once as it is, if I do find some free time and get a chance to do anything with this, I will be sure to leave a comment here and on curse announcing it.

So I noticed that Soundtrack doesn't show the new default tracks that have been added to the game recently, such as new Karazhan music and tavern music. I went ahead and extracted the new data (from patch.MPQ) and used it to add entries to my DefaultTracks.lua. You can get it from http://pastey.net/84303 if you're interested in making Soundtrack able to access these additional built-in tracks :)

Well I fixed my problem. I had a corrupt hard drive. Turns out nothing was working. Anyway, for those "advanced" users, who have huge music libraries and don't feel like moving them, I found the perfect solution. It's listed above in the install guide. They're called junctions and usually they're very difficult to create. But I found a rather nice tool that works on windows 2000/xp(x86 and x64)/vista(x86 and x64). It's called Junction Link Magic http://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htm It's super easy to use. This basically allows you to have your music library right where you want it, all while tricking wow into thinking it's in the interface folder. You might wanna include that in your FAQ/Install guide Great addon. I love it. Keep up the good work.

Hmmm, not really sure why but the mp3's do not play. It show's that they are playing but, the status bar scrolls showing how much time is left, but no sound comes out..... I'm using vista so maybe it's a vista bug?

Alright, Soundtrack's been updated! A couple of new features, especially one that's been a hot item on the menu: a collapsible request list! Joining that wonderfully helpful new update is the ability to set music exclusive to flying mounts. The crossfading issue has yet to be resolved, however, but it's only a matter of time. =) · Collapsible event list: The event list that was getting a bit unwieldily is now displayed as a tree where each event can be collapsed/expanded. For now, this is only seen under the Zones tab, but I will eventually also group Battle events so that you can assign tracks to groups of mobs (e.g. all elites). · Flying mount event: A new event under the Misc tab is fired when you start flying with a flying mount. Note that this event will not play if you are are on a flying mount on the ground. I will eventually make an event that maps to specific mounts, regardless of the flight status. · A lot of code cleanup to make it easier to maintain and add features · fix error popup when engaging battle

COMMENT FROM MORRICONE ON CURSE... "Hey everyone, I've updated Soundtrack to 2.3.3, but other than that I haven't fixed major issues. The tracks still have no cross-fade between them. I also made the package more standard, so now it only contains the 'Sountrack' folder that can be copied to your addons folder. I removed the overrides because they are no longer necessary! That's a welcome bug fix from Blizzard! In order to simplify my work, I needed to reduce the number of sites I maintain associated with Soundtrack. I had 3 addon sites, 1 forum, 1 blog, and 1 bug reporting site that I had to keep track of. Instead, I will put everything right here on curse. I already transfered all the bugs and feature requests from the old bug tracking site and converted them to tickets on here. I will try to review all the comments on here, wow interface and wow ui and also convert any bugs or features to tickets on here." Like I said, he's not updating it here at IncGamers anymore. It's an update in the sense that it works with the newest WoW patch, but not in the sense that anything's been fixed.

Yea, I hate to nitpick, but it doesn't seem fixed. The event stack is still broken (I have music for ruins of Lor and when I go outside, it plays the undercity music instead of the T.Glades music I have) and it doesn't sound like crossfading is back yet.

Morricone, PLEASE fix soundtrack, I'll donate again, I'll help with bugfixes, ANYTHING to see this mod fixed. I don't have my wow activated, and I think this mod is a big reason why. Once you play Wow with soundtrack, it's a very dry experience without it. I have over 400 songs in my music folder, and yes, almost all of them are assigned. It's literally the best ui mod for the game, if I could only have one mod, this would be it.

It's in our deepest concerns Morricone that we please have a fix to Soundtrack. I believe that you've made an element of WoW that was missing; you've became a savior to the dull fighting and the staring of long, horrendous flights. I use this mod mostly for the use of battle music, and it keeps me interested in farming at least. Please, Morricone. Hear our cries and help us with our problematic lack of music to entertain us!

I so agree with flamebroiledham.. I love this mod and yes with out it there is no point in playing.. It makes playing the game fun for me. And that's saying a lot because with out good music, I get so mad at the game.. I've realized this mod helps relax me and enjoy the game more ^_____^ Much love for the mod and hope the update is released soon ^_^
flamebroiledham
757 days ago
Alright, honestly, whether this mod gets fixed or not will make or break the game for me. I stopped playing WoW a long time ago, way before this mod stopped working. Meaning, ever since I first started using Soundtrack over a year and a half ago, I haven't played the game without it. But all of my friends want me to get back into WoW, and I can't decide if I should or not. So I'm putting the dice on Soundtrack. Here's to hoping you get it done, Morricone, because that'll dictate whether I'll continue playing or not. I'm really anxious to see Soundtrack updated again; it's my absolute favorite mod, and I doubt I'm gonna go back to WoW until it works. Think of that as me saying how great your mod is. It's so awesome (and epic if used correctly), that if it doesn't exist, there's no point in playing. =P Cheers!

Fantastic that you'll be returning to work on Soundtrack, but out of curiosity, what exactly was your role in the creation of Assassin's Creed? The game is bucking frilliant. I got the Limited Edition game and right now, mini Altair's keeping watch over my room looking like a badass (next to Master Chief's head). But yeah. Hope to see some updates; this mod is what makes my WoW experience.

Winge

Soundtrack's doing this thing where the music stops and starts randomly. For example, when certain spell effects are cast on either me or my enemy, like when someone fears me, or I scatter shot them. Sometimes it just stops combat music or zone music for no reason that I can figure out.

Hey everyone, this is Morricone, the author of Soundtrack. Sorry I haven't been updating the mod for the past couple of months. But don't worry, I have not abandoned development on this addon. I have been finishing up work on Assassin's Creed and it's now shipped! I'm gonna take some time off to go on vacation and then I will catch up with all the bug reports and messages on here and update Soundtrack to fix the major bugs as quickly as I can (probably before the holidays).

Hmmm, after further testing, it may have something to do with the Druid /cancelform macro. It only seems to happen when I shift via said new macros, but I may have to test more to find out if it's more than just a Druid problem. Edit: Hm, no, it appears it's not just a Druid thing. While simply riding on my mount through AV, the music randomly stopped. Maybe it has something to do with buffs/debuffs? >shrug<

Hmmm. It appears instances and battle music are completely broken. While in Kara and AV, battle music would stop after ten or fifteen seconds, or after 45 seconds or so for no forseeable reason. Perhaps it has something to do with shifting, I have no idea. But it went squish and it makes me a sad panda. :( Oh,a nd good luck on Assassin's Creed. I get to work its release tomorrow. ; ;

I am sure that Morricone is well aware of this, but just in case... If I have Soundtrack playing music then I can not get the sound fade to work while voice chatting.

Incidentally, I made another one of those Soundtrack showcase videos: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1078290258743626869&hl=en It's much longer than the previous, so perhaps people will get bored, but I feel that only showing 20-30 second clips of music doesn't really give people a true feel for why I chose the music I did. ^^ Hope you enjoy, and I apologize for the somewhat crappy quality. :)

@Ryu, Unfortunately, from what I remember hearing way back when, the functionality to start playing a song directly where it left off after another song cuts it off is impossible to achieve. It'd be awesome if that were the case, but at least I don't have to hear the crappy ass Barrens music now, so I can take what I can get. Incidentally, I actually rather dig whatever this patch did to break Soundtrack. Music no longer overlaps each other; it just overwrites the first non-Soundtrack zone I go to. Slightly irritating, I suppose, but it beats hearing two songs playing at once. ^^ <3 Soundtrack, as always.

@Crymic I know, but it wasn't doing what I'm suggesting beforehand. Unless there's an option I missed somewhere, the music would go from zone - battle music, to another randomly selected zone music (I have a few per zone).

Ryu187, right now soundtrack is bugged.

Awesome addon! Can't wait for the fix. One question though, any chance you can set the battle music to not reset the zone music every time it finishes? Listening to the first 30 seconds of a song before switching to another after a battle isn't fun. :P Great job!

You work hard on making one of the more complicated yet competent addons out there. I'll buy Assassin's Creed when it comes out, in hopes that you get some sort of commission per each unit sold. =D

Hey everyone, just noticed that the latest patch broke Soundtrack so I will fix it ASAP this weekend. I still have a month left of work on Assassin's Creed, but I will definitely fix these patch bugs as quick as possible to avoid Soundtrack being unusable.

ALL my audio is messed up - including the remarkable Soundtrack, since Blizzard "improved" the sound in WoW. Looking forward to hearing things properly soon...

The fade-out effect for songs no longer seems to work correctly. When I go to the options panel, I receive this error: interface\addons\soundtrackframe.lua:411: Couldn't find CVar named 'SoundZoneMusicNoDelay'

The new patch, which for obvious reasons, deals with some of the ways sound works in WoW, seems to have messed up Soundtrack in a few different ways. Transitions between tracks are very choppy, as a for-instance. :( I do hope to see you get a tuned-up version out sometime in the near future.

good to see you're gonna rework on it. I've been having issues with boss music tab. Sometimes it wont stop playing if say the group wipes on a boss. I haveta reload the ui or sometimes even logout.

OMG where did all the comments go?! Anyways, just wanted to give a sign of life on here and say I didn't give up on Soundtrack yet. I've been very busy at work, and still have a month left to finish Assassin's Creed. After that I'm gonna take a much needed vacation, and then I will try to catch up to all the messages on here, the bugs reported on my web site and continue work on Soundtrack! Sorry for those who email me directly, I cannot answer every mail at the moment, but I will eventually!
