I have good news. I was able to restore/find original music. I would say the quality is 99.9%-100% spot on. You can actually hear the real instruments. For example, in North Ro, that really weird synethized song is actually a real Pan Flute. In the character screen, you can hear the real trumpet and the piano's high keys.

I'd say I have about 30 songs that have been restored. Most of which are all in mp4 format. Once I get home I will figure out a way to give them all to you guys.

I stayed up until 2AM trying to figure out how I would be able to restore the common music. Although it is MP4, it can be converted back to mp3 and be replaced with what currently is in the EverQuest file.

Found info about EQ Zone Viewer:

http://web.archive.org/web/200312280...rt.com/85.html

You can still download EQ Zone Viewer from archive.org.

Ain't the old rpgexpert great? Been downloading most of the P99 relevent articles, I'll try to post them somewhere so you don't have to deal with the vagaries of archive.org...

However, it's not the solution, doesn't seem to be running any Verant code so it won't do the sound the way we want to. At the end of the day I think we're still stuck with trying to load the original client against an emu, but not sure if this would be possible with a client old enough to have the original music. Anyone know what the NEWEST client we can try is?

Regards,
Mg

Do the newer clients use the MP3's for zone music like the Titanium client uses it for zones like Lavastorm?

If there was some way to get the 3 different combat songs to play randomly, and the better music to be played in the game that'd be amazing. I still don't see how that could happen with the current client though?

As far as I understand, the current zones all use mp3 format. The restored music that was recovered, is mainly mp4, (some 3) that was rerecorded. The part that is beyond me is having the music play at the proper times. I have all 3 battle songs, as far as having them play random, I'm clueless.

This thread has affirmed for me that I'm not the only nerd who's emotional bond to this blasted game is tied to the music nearly as much as the game-play and friendships that were made.

In fact, I was working in my office when I got the itch to listen to the music. I promptly pulled up the MP3's on my Blackberry and the nostalgia took hold. That inspired me to log into EQemu again, which I had not done in months and my wife came down stairs, heard the login music and said "oh no!".

Additionally, you could just turn off the in-game music and cycle through the MP3 playlist at random...that works almost as good for me!

Thank goodness I'm a responsible gamer now and the wife and kids won't lose daddy to evercrack...much [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Maybe putting the songs on random is a good idea. The mp3 player is in this client yes? Would be another option lol.

If all the zones are mp3 music...how do we/which files do we add/remove to play them? I imagine the music will always play like it does in LS if we do this instead of be situational how it's supposed to be?

Has anyone had any success with restoring the original music? This thread seems to have died without any resolution.
