How about some more music?

[swakey]

As the titles says. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the music in the game so far. I just think it would be nice if there were a few more tracks

[vexx32]

All well and good... so what, you just want more variety? Anything specific?

Music's generally one of the last things that is finished up for most games. I'd say we're probably lucky to have what we already do at this point in development. :/

[swakey]

Yeah more variety I guess. The genre is great it suits the game and puts you in the right mood. I think a nice soundtrack is critical to a game.

I mean another thing is that the pieces themselves could be expanded. Especially the ones when you're in space. You're gonna be playing for quute a while. Why not have 5 minute soundtracks?

As long as the docking music will be The Blue Danube, more variety is good.

It's great that there is music already, but now that everybody has already experienced it, there's no way to stave off the desire for more variety.

I feel the track choices are a perfect fit, but this game has captured my attention for so long that they've gotten quite stale. Honestly, I think that rather than saddle the devs with the expectation to find new music, procure the licenses and include more static tracks in the game, why not add the ability to play tracks from our own collections, similar to the way GTA Vice City/San Andreas did (plop music files in a folder that the game can reference)?

Yes, that may introduce another license issue with MP3 decoding in-game, (it's not really fair to expect every player to understand the details of transcoding to an open format like .ogg), but that would be only a single hurdle to overcome, compared to micro-managing the individual tracks from their end.

While I'm thinking about this, it might be nice to actually have two independent playlists for flight or construction, extending on the format already present in the game.

I did a little searching and found a plugin that provides the basics of the functionality, but it's a little clunky and requires a part to be present on the craft, which means it's only active during flight, not during construction, which is where a lot of players can actually spend more time during a particular session.

EDIT:

I just found Soundtrack Editor, which goes a long way toward implementing the suggestions above!

It'd be great if if there was something like a file list specifying what to play in space, in atmosphere, when landed, etc. And if I could add my own music to that list.

[Javster]

I think the game needs the credits music to play in atmosphere (maybe only dense atmosphere)

Sometimes, flashing lights should emanate from an occupied Hitchhiker, and if you IVA into it, this music should play:

Reason: Even Kerbals are bored sometimes.

I like ksp's music. but it does get a bit repetitive. However, it doesn't bother me that much and Squad should focus on other things (unless this doesn't take up much time).

More variety would definitely be nice, although I wouldn't consider this to be a particularly critical feature at this point in time.

Brilliant! Very Kerbal-y? -ish? -isitc? Or is it just Kerbal?

I am glad that the music is a good as it is! The only issue is that the amount of playtime that goes into the game makes the music 'seem' stale and repetive. Squad should draft themselves an intern and, ah, suggest to them to compile a more interesting soundtrack.
